    Looking for bull bar/brush guard?

    Have owned my VX for about 5 months - would like to find a brush guard for it. Are the brackets still available? Any idea what brush guard/bull bar will fit the VX? Any help would be appreciated! Just replaced the transmission in it, so it's going to be around for a while!

    There is no Brush Guard made specifically to fit the VX.

    I have done two custom versions, first a true "Brush Guard":-

    And here is a true Rock Bumper:-

    =============

    Brush Guard good for gentle off road use, and skateboarder deflection!
    But will likely cause extra frontal damage if hit...
    ..as it will fold back and punch wings.

    Rock bumper is bullet proof..can ( and have!!) stood the VX on its nose with this..
    ...and nothing more than a slight paint scrape..( see pics below!)

    Hope this helps..happy to build you a rock bumper...

    I can get the brackets if you find the push bar you want. IIRC, it was Vandetta that posted what bar to order.

    It was Westin bull bar, and then a former active owner named "Tone" had the brackets custom made to work with this specific Westin bar. He no longer is involved, and Tom4Bren was able to get a used set to have duplicated by a welder he knows.

    So Use the search function and you'll find many posts about the Westin bull bar, and one of them will have the Westin model number listed. It was in the last 12-18 months IIRC.

    I had one but sold it a while back, but have these pics.
