Confirmed from experience. I started with a WAAG brush guard, which mounts through the tow-hook holes. Was coming home in a blizzard, hit a pile of snow some idiot had plowed out into the middle of the road and got thrown to the shoulder where my WAAG caught a small tree and spun me around. Tore out the tree, pulled the brush guard 6 inches to the right, and rotated the radiator mounts far enough to set the fan firmly into the radiator (but didn't actually damage anything). Once I got home I was able to twist the mounts back into place. The funny thing was that the fan being stopped set a code which did not light up the CEL, but nearly a year later I saw the code and had to chase down what it meant.
Unfortunately, there's not many choices where to bolt the brush guard. Just get a steel bumper built and bolt a modified brush guard directly to it, problem solved!
