Title: Push bar or grill guards?
Post by: Jakethesnake73 on May 20, 2015, 11:27:15 am
Where can i find some pushbars online. Also thinking about the grill guards on the cucv, could that be used to push another truck?

Neither of the ones you are referring to would do well when pushing.

this is what tow trucks use. it has a rubber piece on it to help prevent damage, but i imagine it can be pretty pricey for what you want it for and its not really pretty

  I've used my CUCV's brush guard for pushing trucks without any problems.
  My yard truck suburban just uses 2 pieces of pipe bolted to the front bumper. Its not as cool as a brush guard, but its great for pushing trucks around the yard..
