It took an extra person to get the brush guard into position.  Thankfully my neighbor Lonnie stopped by and lended a hand.  I unscrewed the chrome piece out of my grill and I am stripping the chrome off of it.  I had a small section that was de-laminating and it looked like crap so I will either remove the balance of the chrome and paint it flat black or I will go to the bone yard and find a replacement.  Anyway, we got the brush guard mounted just as darkness caught up with us.  Again, one photo below needs to be rotated counter-clockwise.  Don't know what the deal is, but there it is.  I took it out for a drive in the darkness to see how much the brush guard reduced my headlight beam.  It appears to be negligible.

Was able to adjust the brush guard a little today.  I tilted it backwards about one inch which leveled it out better with the hood.  I  painted it flat black and then completed the grill insert mod and called it good.

Oh yeah, and I got tired of the aluminum rims that I had on Buster so I went to my local "man mall" (junkyard) and found 5 steelie stock rims from a '96-'98 Tracker, cleaned them up then sanded them down, wiped them down with Xylol then painted them semi-gloss black and ended up with an inexpensive set of black steelie rims to mount my Courser AT2s on. The AT2s have a solid tread strip down the center which reduces the road rumble the straight Courser ATs had quite bit more.  I have just a very slight rumble when cruising down the highway.  Barely noticeable.
