Thanks to everyone who posted up pics...

I just finished mine this afternoon...my emphasis was on 'tool-free, quick connect/disconnect.' I found these wonderful little things at Home Depot in the plumbing section called 'clevis hangers' (used to hang pipe from the ceiling) that give you an excellent quick connect to the brush-guard.

Since my rack is 'ultra-stealth' and sets back further than some, I couldn't use the rack as a roof-mounting point, so I had some roof rail brackets fabbed out of 1/4" steel plates which I proceeded to mod until they fit my needs. Here's the pics!

Dimension of the brackets:


Put a little bend on the end:


A little paint, padding, and a spacer:


Mounted:


That wonderful 'clevis hanger' that I mentioned earlier:


Turnbuckle setup:


Roof bracket connection:


Finished product:




When not in use, the brackets can be loosened and slid back so the arms do not extend so far out from the windshield.

Again, thanks to everyone who posted up pics and ideas!
