What is the grille guard from?

What is this grille guard from? I got it from a scrap dealer and was not sure what it fit. I hauled it home on the M1009 and it gave me an idea for a rear brush guard. I think it may be HMMWV. It looks easy to attach to the M1009 and make it drop to use the rear gate.

HMMWV. the viewer's right of the grill is more open due to the blackout light. Plus, width with lack of height would make it pretty unusable for anything else.

I can't wait to see that mounted on the back of your truck!!!

Other than adding some much needed weight (?) what purpose would this serve?

A little more purpose then the little metal guards that I see bolted directly on the tail light lenses and head lights of some SUV's. Also I sort of think it is a neat and a useful add on for a different look and protection. I will keep it simple and neat. It was just a thought. You don't have to like it. I could carry my hoveraround on it when I get older. Is that a good enough purpose?

I could carry my hoveraround...

These would be make some good options, although hopefully that day is far away!!



You may be able to fit a PUSS-E on there as well.

Don't take offense, I'm only asking. And you're right, I don't have to like it.

Of course, it begs the question; how fast do you usually drive blindly through the brush in reverse?

Its the guy following me that concerns me. And it would just be that an add on that I would do like an exoskeleton made of tubing would be cool also.
