Default *FREE* DI Brushguard (rough shape) - near Seattle, WA

Up for grabs is a *FREE* brush guard off of a DI. Heavily rusted in areas, but overall is sturdy. Will need a mounting bracket fabbed up and a few holes patched, but that is why it's *FREE*.

Someone with a grinder, some metal fab skills,welding skills, and some spray paint could resurrect this brush guard on the CHEAP. Could also make a good practice piece for a new welder.

I don't have a welder, so I am helpless to fix it.

Absolutely, positively, no BS !!!!FREE!!!! if picked up. I will meet you just about anywhere between Bellevue, WA and Olympia, WA for a 12-pack of a delicious IPA.

I had mine laying around for a couple of years and finally got tired of looking at them.
I took them to the scrapyard with a load of scrap metal.

The pipes rust thru from the inside. I wish I had cut off and saved the section that mounts to the frame though.

Have a feeling that's what I'll end up doing...

i just cut mine off because the were rusting and a lady took the left upper piece with her fancy RR.

im keeping the A frame middle bit and wrapping it in rubber..it needs to be welded as its separating so I'm going to try and push it further so the top of the A sticks out front more and weld it solid.

i should get a new bumper but not now but i kinda like this.

DEAL! I'd be all over that if shipping cost was reasonable for you.

I'm pretty sure it'll need to be freight shipped so it won't be cheap, you'll probably be able to find one locally in MUCH better shape for same the price as shipping would cost....and this one needs A LOT of work I had a brush guard shipped a couple years ago, I think it ended up costing around $100 just for shipping.

My fall back plan is to use it to test out my new sawz-all

IF ANYONE WANTS JUST THE GRILLES I'D BE GLAD TO SHIP THOSE IF YOU PAY THE FULL SHIPPING +$5 FEE TO COVER MY TIME AND GAS TO THE POST OFFICE

The cheapest way to ship one of these brush bars is by Greyhound bus. I sent a couple to CA from CT about 6 months ago and I think the cost was around $90. It may be less from WA to MS.

Thanks for the info, I've heard it's pretty affordable for bigger items.
