If you happen to have a right hand headlight mount and front guard I could be interested. Even more so if its blue

They are strong but this is a two way street. When you slide 15 meters down a hill with the traction of wet ice into a jeep it takes 2 days with a 5 pound hammer to get everything back where it should be. The guard isnt too important although it can never be a shiny again but the headlight cant be adjusted. As it was the bracket on the headlight had a right angle bend in it. They are strong headlights. I had a spare grill and indicator
