This is actually my first one in a long time and yeah its welded pretty solid but this one the a3and the 923 are from the other program so they're ours to keep and that's why we're tryin to protect them. I started on the 923 today not as elaborate just a bumper ext for lights and siren because it won't see trees much and will have 1500 gallons of water on it.

How much brush do you matchheads drive through? Holy cow, I thought you had dozers making fire breaks for you to drive on, not charging your way through hedgerow country.
If there is brush tough enough to stop a 5-ton in low gear WITHOUT a brushguard, I don't want to know where you are going....

Most of the time we don't get dozers here unless it's a really major fire. The guard is to help protect the fenders and lights this pic doesn't show it but I also moved the turn signals closer to the radiator. You'll also notice no stack sticking up.

eek! Would it have been much more work to build something that would offer similar protection without being so... ugly?

I do not know about anybody else, but if a M818 or 923 is headed at my road block with a full head of steam, my section will be evacuated, brush guard or not!

Some times we are aggressive in our firefighting tactics. I won't post pics of the last 818 for fear of backlash from some of you guys but a couple guys got reamed for the damage done to it and its out of service now. But believe me if it were my personal truck it would not have something like this on it but the dept has to use them so we try to protect them.

Does the Department of HomeBoy Security know that you're building a BLOCKADE-BUSTER
