i got mine off the broke down passport my neighbor keeps in her driveway for letting her borrow my lawn mower.

basically the best deal ever...

brand =
which is why i have to get "custom" mounting brackets.

I just put my new Westin safari bar on last night. $190 with mounting kit and shipped to my door step. I really like this style. I posted a pic in my album; can't figure out how to get pictures in my replies, yet.

I have a Manik on mine which looks pretty similar. Thats a killer deal on ebay considering new brush guards can run upwards of $500

I have the exact same one that you posted from e-bay. It founds up very solid to existing bolts on the frame and the bumper. You have to remove the grill to install it and that is all. it is very easy to install and all the needed hardware is included.

here is a picture of it.

Westin, but it's not for a Jimmy/Blazer. I kinda have it Jimmy rigged on there, but it is still very solid.

Hey JC...why would you need to remove the grille to install that guard? does it not just bolt to the frame underneath?

and wouldn't installing a grille BEHIND your mounted grille guard be harder than the first time you change plug 3?

There are two upper supports that bolt to the upper 2 bumper mounts, which are only accessible with the grille removed. Cuts down on vibration and movement in the guard compared to if it were just mounted at the bottom in the frame.

Hunter brush guard roll call?
