Rodeo brush guard on amigo

[barney93]

i bought this rodeo bumper on eBay (it was supposed to be for an amigo!)
looks like the brackets are missing anyway.

The Amigo fenders have a bit more bulge, but it is truely minimal in the areas that this brush guard covers. You might want to put some rubber tape on the backside of the brush guard anyway, it can rub some if you get the truck good and crossed up off-road.

If you can fab the brackets to mount it, you could also tweak the 'wings' to be a bit wider. Adjust liberally with a BMFH prior to mounting, perhaps.

I have a cadillac motor in my trooper, you can make a brush guard fit :flipoff2:

good point!

i guess what i meant is...
is it made to fit, or do i need to modify?

i dont see any good mointing points that are vertical like this seems to need.
might just be cause i dont have mounting brackets.

[barney93]

does anyone know where this is supposed to mount?
or where any brush guard is supposed to mount for that matter?
any good places to buy a new bumper?
i can only find bumpers available for my 93 from calmini or darlington.

It may just use the two bolts on each side of the body mounts like the stock bumper. Not a good way but not uncommon.

[barney93]

the two vertical holes?!?
wont that allow the brush gaurd to pivot?

What year Rodeo?

The brush guard on my 95 mounted to the two factory tie down points, and also had two bolts through the front of the bumper at the lisence plate mount to prevent rotation.

i dont know.
i have an amigo.
do you have any pics of it installed?

[Andre75]

That's about it that I know of. There is/was an ARB. I don't know if it's still available or not. My new DOR bumper should be in next week :D
