I joined the forum in October when I got my blazer (2004 2 door 4x4) but I am not very knowledgeable about cars (my blazer is my first vehicle) so I have mainly been lurking and reading others' posts to learn.

I am interested in getting a brush guard for my truck. I do not do much off roading but want a brush guard because I think they look cool and I want to protect my grill/headlights in case I hit a deer (which in Ohio could be just about anywhere).

I am looking at getting this guard for my truck http://www.huntertruckwholesale.com/?ITEMID=GC-801 I have some questions that I was hopeing someone here could answer.

1. I know from looking around that several people here have this guard. Have you had a good experience with it?
2. Has anyone had any trouble with a black powder coated guard rusting? I live in Ohio and because I am still living at home, my truck has to sit outside in the elements. I have talked to several people who have said that they have had powder coated guards rust out on them.
3. Is a brush guard fairly easy to install? Can one person do it by them self or should I ask someone to help me install it?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

 

Well, since you're asking questions/wanting information, I'm moving this to the 'Off Roading' section. Feel free to repost an introduction thread in 'New Members'.
