Mine doesnt sit as it should since its a fiberglass replica and the guy that installed it was lazy and drilled on the easiest spots but not the strongest. But still looks decent and doesnt leak

You're going to find very few lexus's at Pull-A-Part yards. Those are Highline cars and they won't be showing up until the legit yards have all they need

I just need a legit yard... lol. My second choice used to have a lot of Lexus... but now... nada... but I also noticed their prices for parts dropped significantly.
Wish I had a friend with one... lol! Even the aftermarket new ones sell for less then the Sport versions.

So back to the brush guard... I have a 2 inch body lift... now I have to figure out how on earth to modify the brackets to make them hold the thing 2 inches taller? DUN...DUN...DUUUUUN...

You would really need to have new brackets fabricated for a solid mounting point. Additional connections will introduce weak spots.

I sure will... the brakets come under the bumper and have 2-3 bolts and also have a second piece that attaches thru the bumper grill part. Pics soon Here are a few pics of the guard before my phone died appears the guard itself is .25 however, I will measure with calipers tonight when I drag out the brackets. Headlight guard bars:

my lastest: The fullsize Montero coils and torsion bars Tools for the job! PB blaster... 2 17mm box end wrenches, 17mm socket, 14mm boxend wrench, 14mm socket, breaker bar, 24mm socket, 15/16 box end wrench (substitute for 24mm I did not have) hammer, prybar, socket wrenches, digital caliper, tape measure! Normally all this is in my backpack for light duty (never know what you will find duty) Metric... The bigger stuff like breaker bars and prybars stay in the trunk with this... www.harborfreight.com/professional-301-piece-mechanics-tool-kit-45951.html>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ON to my other goodies: Hyundai Santa Fe 2001-2006 cross bars: 4 total! the front one this far forward was a direct fit with no trimming. The rear bar will have to be trimmed: Easy enough. Will start a thread about this once the sport is running right. Oh and experimenting with letters: still need to secure some that I want for Montero. not happy with my options yet. Could go with Nativa...

Some Kia's will probably work as they all shared parts for many years.

my 97's eliminate that extension, though that looks better than the tubular ones I saw at the yard. I think I'll just build a bumper

Ok ran measurements Main bracket that bolts to frame rail and bottom leg of guard What about drilling holes right where your thumb is on the bumper extension and mount it to that. Would that put it too high? Be able to clear the bumper? I haven't been prying under there since I added my fogs. Trying to visualize where everything is, but drawing a blank.
