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)
