I have recently been building my custom brush guard so I don't keep breaking the front bumper. I plan on building aluminum front rack and a low mount radiator relocation kit, so I can still us the high headlight.

Looks like it should suit your needs..... but until you do your radiator relocation, do you really want to cover the radiator with that lower plate steel?

What do you plan to paint/cover it with? A little rattle-can spray on bed line would look good!

That looks pretty damned strong

I'm hoping it doesn't affect airflow too much to the radiator, but if it does I plan on having the radiator relocation done in a week or two.

I painted with a black rustoleum hammer tone. I thought about coating it with a bed liner but the material is porous and looks dirty all the time after it gets muddy.

Looks really nice!!! Good job.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Here it is finished. I have the front rack about halfway done, then I will start the radiator mount.

That looks great all skinned up and painted. Awesome work!

question, why didn't you put the sheet on the front of the frame? looks like it's just going to catch mud, and could potentially catch on something if you're really deep.

i like it! i'm looking for ideas for my '04 sportsman 700. I need a front rack too, so please post after you get the rack built.

I like it, the way you have it. I like the plate behind the frame. Looks good that way. There are other places that will catch mud - at least it'll be easy to hose off. Like you said, I would be concerned about covering the rad. but that may well be a non-issue. The fan can still pull air through the rad.

Good job.
