I just spent an hour looking thru pics & threads trying to find info & ideas on fabbing a rear rack & a push bar or grill guard for my conquest. All that searching turned up nothing. Does anyone have clear pics of how a rear rack would mount? And also a fabbed push bar or grill guard for the front? If you have pics or drawings or anything that would help I would be much obliged. Grateful even.
Did you try looking at what RD has on site. He has a nice rack on the back for storage and a guard on the front on one of his machines.
Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

Thank you both for those. Mr.Doctor, on your front guard you just used stress cuts to bend the angle around the front? Is there anything you would do different with that if you did another? Also, you attached both thru the tub seal area. Any ill affects from that? Any thing to becarful of when drilling thru that?
On the rear rack, is it still possible to use a top with that?
Thanks again.
Is the Doctor in? Have another question. Are the cuts to bend around the front about 3" apart? Thanks for all your help.
Sorry, I missed your questions earlier.
Stress cuts? Yes
Do different? Yes, the 1.5" Angle for the Front Bumper could have been 1.5"x1". Sometimes when I push quads or other Argos, I can get hung up on them. See this for a good example:

Yes, bolted through the Tub Seal. Seems fine, I use the front and rear racks as part of my tie down points on the trailer, I've never had an issue with the way they are mounted. It's very strong.
The top fits, but just barely. Defiantly something to keep in mind while you build.
I did not measure the cuts on the front bumper. I started with the length I wanted, marked the Center, then marked the Center of each half, then marked the Center of each quarter, ect, ect.
Don't mean to be short, I'm on my phone.
