UltraGuard Rock shield
Hi Rob, I am going to have to "adjust" that as well. I may not even
use the bumper as my point of attachment. Why I didn't think of the chains I'll never tell ya. And I can see the point of the thing being too close to the road and actually causing more problems then it would prevent. The directions did say 4 inches but I was going to live with three if I had too. I really appreciate the help received. I get'er done but it certainly works better when I get a little help from my friends (especially before I screw up) John Heckman central Pa 1973 FC > > John when I put an Ultra Guard on an SOB several years ago the instructions > that came with it said the minimum clearance was 4 inches otherwise you > would (on occasion) scrape the ground resulting in rocks depositing > themselves on the toads upper surfaces as well as chipping the frontal > paint. > > 2008/6/19 bubblerboy64 > > > Gees Curt that was way too simple.
