Default What Will Fit?

I'm trying to find a brush guard for my Jimmy slt. I found one made by Westin (40-0085) but it says Full Size Jimmy. Is an slt full size? Will it work anyway (if it isn't full size)? Or any other recommendations for brands that will FOR SURE fit my truck? Thanks in advance.

There aren't many brush guards out there for S10 Blazer/Jimmys to begin with. To add to that, you and I have the same problem: any sort of brush guard, bull bar, etc...is very hard to find for 1995-1997's. The Blazer/Jimmy was given a new grille/headlights/bumper in 1998, and an new mounting point was added to the frame for the new bumper support.
Almost all brush guards/etc mount to this. The only place I know of that currently offers a brush guard for our model is JC Whitney. The brand is Garage Pro, and the reviews on it say it's very cheaply made and flimsy.

Hunter Truck Accessories makes a nice brushguard at a decent price, but they only fit 1998-up. I plan on getting one in the future, and having a fab shop build a mount for it. With the mount, I could then use anything that fits 1998-up.

*Update*
The good news: Warn makes a grille guard that fits your jimmy. The model number is 30090.
The bad news: It's expensive. A little over 600, and that only includes the center piece. The brush guards are 125 extra and aren't the wraparound type. The total price is around $750.00.
