Question Brush Guard Installation

I plan to install a GORHINO (3000 series) brush guard on my '03 X Limited 4x4. The manufacturer brochure says, that their is no drilling or cutting required. I called customer support which told me the same.

As I looked underneath my truck, I just simply can not figure out, where that guard would bolt on?

Any ideas, pictures or hints?


Thanks so much!

Brush Guard Installation

Part of it will bolt on at the front bumper mounting bolts located beside the tow hooks. I have no clue where the other mounting points might be. I installed a Smittybilt bumper guard because I did not want those brush guards wrapping around the headlight area. Mine comes up to just above the bumper ... looks like those you might've seen on police vehicles. I've seen some minor bumps push those guards into the bodywork, causing more damage than if the X had not been so equipped ... and the insurance companies wouldn't cover that portion of the repairs.

Just my 2-cents.

As far as I am aware , all brush guards attach to the two bolts on each side of the factory tow hooks. My old Westin guard was mounted this way.....
