Brush Guard for a Yaris?
Yeah, I asked...go ahead and get the laughter out.
Ok, done? Does anyone know if there is a brush guard available from anywhere for the Yaris. I doubt it but it's worth an ask. I'm seriously thinking about putting a brush guard, off-road fog lights, trailer hitch, roof rack, and all-terrain tires on my Yaris. It certainly would be unique :) |

I seriously looked for an off the shelf one when I was building up Crashy, but couldn't find one, so I welded up my own. For my current Crashy2 project I will have a front bumper, so I plan on making one more like the one on the fiat in the pic below:

There are actually two. The first is a poll where I am trying to figure out exactly what I am going to do with her and the second is my progress on repairing her injuries so I can get her on the road:

I've already bought a pair of 5" PIAAs (still thinking of going with 7" Cibie Oscar +, though) and am trying to figure out a way to make and mount (the bigger problem) a guard to protect the lights from passers by and getting bumped by other cars. I don't plan on a roof rack or all terrain tires but I do plan to lower it a bit but I am looking at Rally style wheels like Ronal Turbos, Sparco Terra, or Enkei Gravel/RC-G4. One bad thing I've discovered is that these heavy duty rally wheels are heavy... |

And expensive. I have been looking myself for rally wheels and tires for Crashy2 (who will also get my lift kit treatment and a hidden plow mount). If I can't find a reasonable used set of wheels I might just paint my steelies white.

yeah, that's what I was thinking...to hell with lowering it, I say raise it for offroad use. the roads around here are aweful and I go camping and stuff in my car. I think it'd be cool to have it all "offroad ready".
