How NOT to straighten a grill guard.
Okay so I screwed up my grill guard pushing another vehicle.
Bent it back against the front of the truck.
So naturally the solution was to chain the truck to a tree,
stick her in reverse 4 low & gun it...
Presto... she un-bent nicely...
Then I take a closer look & oops. The tow cable had left a big
honking dent in the grill guard's tube steel. Crap!..
So after a few failed attempts to un-kink it using a large hammer
& some clamps I devised a cunning plan to hide my dumb move
with a short piece of PVC piping...
A little paint to hide the PVC...
A couple of sheet metal screws later & all was right with the world...
