[QUOTE="ovrlnd, post: 1121939, member: 19712"] Don't do it. It's stupid uberlander shit that's not even useful. I don't even know where the idea came from - I suspect someone saw an old photo of a defender in africa with a rigged up radio antenna and thought it was a brush guard. Most of the ones I've seen are so flimsily mounted that they'd rip the mounts off the hood if they were ever used as supposedly intended. Especially the ones you see on the plastic hood mounts on jeeps. The forces on a taught wire are tremendous. Especially with something that's going to "poke a hole in your windshield". And when they do snap, that limb now has some kinetic energy headed your direction. And then the guys who run them have all this other junk - light bars, antennas, roof racks, snorkels, you name it - and their limb risers are directing every little branch right into them. It's just dumb. The guys who have them are the same ones who drive around the city 365 with their spare tire on their roof rack. [/QUOTE]
