"Bonnet Guard"

[eternus]

I saw this video a year ago when the Gladiators were still few and far between but started plotting even then. I'm plotting making my Gladiator as bad-ass as this Defender 130. To that end...



He has a "Checkered Plate Bonnet Guard" on the hood since they are up there standing on it to get things off of the roof. I love that look on the Defender but I'm wondering if the Gladiator hood is tough enough to hold my 200 lbs.

doubt it, it is only aluminum, so would also need the plate hood guard.

Yah, I'm curious about the "Steel Import Hood" they put on the Wayout concept.

Steel plate that size would weigh a lot . Could maybe find create a plate that has lots of cut outs in it to help reduce weight ? would need support structures underneath for plate to sit on / attach to ... would be an interesting project . He does have a really thin plate on his ... hmmm.. wish he would have gotten up on it instead of the girl haha . 200lbs + what you lift off the top ... interesting .
