Push bar or grill guards?
« 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?

why do you want to push another truck? shop use? do you want to protect both trucks? do you care about looks?

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

so do you want a rubber guard or metal

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


you can get more pictures and ideals from HERE

  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..
