had a flat piece if steel and fitted it with a selftapper to the pillar. on the snork i drilled and tapped a 8mm tread. have to keep an eye on the pillar selftapper for a while as i am not sure it's gonna hold on a sierra.. if not a have to make up a bigger plate with multiple selftappers and locktite. |

on the guard i fixed it with drilling 2 holes and tappin 8 mil tread in it. filled up the space between the guard and the snork with washers and rubber grommets to protect the paint. it's pretty solid but with the rough ride and vibrations going on in the sierra i'm not sure. see how it goes and will keep updates on here. |

Looks good, I'm thinking about making one for my GV. Would it be possible to bend it with a pipe bender? |
