  • Brush Guard

    Does anyone have any close up pics of a Festiva with a brush guard or grille guard or a push bar or anything like that? I am planning on putting some kind of heavy duty front bumper on my Festiva but don't know where to mount one. So if anyone has picks of a heavy duty bumper mount please post them. Thanks for your help.

      In the course of repairs...... This "Heavy Duty" look isn't really so heavy duty as it is "dodo." :-)

          SS grille guard

          When I had a Jeep, I bought some thick 304 stainless tube and plates and had the pieces cut and ready to weld. I then took them for polishing. Then back to have them welded. Then back for final polishing to get the heat discolouration out.
          It was a thing of beauty.

                      Austyfrosty's brush guard is pretty nice and sturdy too!

                      Genevadirt, you need to go the full "Mad Max" route and up-armour the whole front end.
                      Did you at least get to keep any of the deer for food?
                      It wouldn't fix anything, but sure would make me feel better!
