Default Grill guard/push bar?

WANT TO PUT GUARD OR A BAR ON MY 99 BLAZER......But everything I look at seems too flimsy...want something that's going to stand up to people backing into it while they use my front end as a parking guide...any suggestions?

I like the ones that mount directly to the frame, they're much stronger & proper in my view. Although the ones that you drill through the bumper DO mount right where the frame is under the bumper. Thats the one I got by mistake to mount my fog lights on. You always have the option to fab one up yourself. If you can find mounting plates 1st then build it up from there, that would be a bonus.

Think "Warn Trans4mer". By far the strongest and sturdiest out there. So strong you can mount a winch on it.

I had a Warn Trans4mer with the winch mount a few years ago I was so eager to put on until I went the body lift and hidden winch mount route. Ended up selling it to another guy who mounted it without the winch mount.

Kind of wished I had mounted it, even though I would have had to do some fabrication to the brackets to match the body lift.
