Title: cheap radiator protection
Post by: tracker92 on January 12, 2010, 04:51:55 PM: ok heres the deal, i just put a big stick through my radiator when i was wheelin the other day. i got it replaced but i wanted to see if there is some sort of protection i can put up front other than an expensive tube or plate bumper? anyone know of any products of ideas for something i could cook up in my garage?

my rig is a 92 geo tracker 2dr tin top, pretty much all stock
