Managed to grab a Manik Brush guard cheap from someone off craigslist. Measured the overall width before I bought it to make sure it fit the width of the truck, and it fits perfectly. However I went to install today, and found that there was only one hole in the frame on either side to bolt onto (While the mounting brackets have 2 bolts), and that the frame is far too wide for the width of the attachment points on the guard itself. Also found that without cutting the bumper it would sit super low, So I'm assuming some cutting of the bumper would be needed. However I'm lost as to why the space is so much wider on the frame than it is on the guard itself (The space between the two mounting brackets on the guard is about exactly 2 feet)
Any Ideas?
