Installed the "new" brush guard from an 88 Range Rover. Not a bad fit, huh? Took some carefully measured brute force modifications... ie. cutoff saw. I'm willing to bet this is the ONLY Dakota Convertible with this particular brush guard setup.

Missing from this picture are the air dam fog lights (pain in the butt to mount - fabricating new brackets for them now), the brush-guard mounted 6"x9" fog lights (backordered), and the larger tires (the 30x10.5 tires tend to drive over the snow and pack it into a constantly slipperier-than-necessary driving surface). Coming this summer will be a 3" body lift, now that I have all the components.

Thanks to Walt Felix for the brush guard idea, and to Chris in St Louis for wrestling the monstrosity over to FedExKinkos.
