Engine Guard
Does anyone have any pics of one of these actually installed on their truck with the body on? If so, I would really like to see them!
Thanks!

The older 25 and 25 ss had the handle thing and the new X's have a plastic gaurd excactly like the linked one. It has worked good enough for me but i do understand wanting to protect your new head. Mine has a some scratches from roll-overs on pavement. I just personally wouldnt pay for that one but it would definetely protect your engine well.

I did the tubing thing. It left my head with a wear mark where it rubbed the ano off. On a big, ugly side up, landing with the X roll bar and tubing I still managed to bend the top fin down a little. I'm not sure anyone else would notice, but if you look dead on you can tell. Anyway, I think that rollbar looks sweet, and I'd fork over for it... except one thing. It really bothers me it only has one mounting spot on the tvp. It would be worse, I think, to have a bent or broken tvp as opposed to a slightly bent head with a little wear mark.
