Civi Bull Bar..

[islandguydon]

For those who know me, know that in the last 4 months as luck would have it I had my civi truck in the dealership to have the front grill, hood and misc replaced due to 2 fender benders.

1st one was not my fault, the 2nd was. I has tooling around the shop and found a Warn receiver front Bull Bar for a 1996 Chevy Z71 I used to have. I had an epiphany to remake this for the Avalanche. The whole process minus the paint job took 4 hours.

I removed the factory tow hooks and fabed out a new bracket for both sides with 1/4" angle iron and 1/2" plate steel. I took the original bar apart and refitted it to the truck with the original tow hooks reinstalled. I welded every metal to metal contact and re braced as needed. I feel now the bar it 5 times stronger than the original.

I then sand blasted the Bar, primed and painted with rustolium textured paint. Flat black. Just throwing it out there for those who may be in need of added protection on the front of their trucks and these pictures may spark a few ideas. Peace Out..!

Not sure how this relates to CUCVs or MVs in general, or did I miss something about mounting the guard on a cucv

73m819 Don't tell me your picking on this...? I thought most men were resourceful and think outside the box.

The same Bar will hook up to any M-1008 / M-1009 / M1028. The frame is the same width in the front with the difference of 0.79" from 1984-1998 Chevy 4x4 truck or 4x4 Blazer.

Easy mod for a CUCV wanting to go a different direction.

My set up is a Warn winch bumper retrofitted to fit the civi truck. I had to install a Reese receiver in the front of the 1028 for the winch. Now I can switch from truck to truck whenever needed, I just have to run the 12v power from the battery to a local Anderson connector on this truck.
