Grille Guards and Hitches
Okay so I have some $$$ to blow on the Blazer and want to get a Grille/Brush guard. I have read past posts and am still undecided. I have seen guys with Go Rhino, Hunter, and Westin. So far I am leaning towards the Westin, however it is a little pricey and I wonder what its corrosion protection vs Hunteris like. Any insight is always appreciated.
Also since we're on the topic, I am planning on installing a hitch. Probably going with Drawtite class IV unless anyone has a better suggestion
What does everyone like for hood/bug and side window deflectors? AVS?

As far as my brushguard goes... I got a Hunter mainly cause I liked the price and the way it looked, and I freakin love this thing. My Aunt has a WAAG guard on her Trailblazer andits real hard to tell the difference between the two.

Only difference ive seen between waag and hunteroffroad is that hunter has the extra raised bar in the middle whereas the waag does not. Other wise they are practially the same. Mounting wise ive only seen the waag and i like how it has a big plate that it anchors to that you can bolt up and if you feel like it you can weld it too to be super strong. As for durability on the waag, well it saved my bacon in an accident and absorbed nearly all the damage. Still had to get a new bumper, fender, and hood but the damage to those was minor.

Yeah, check it out. My insurance company offers it, I had a custom bumper/grill guard installed on my old 86 F-150 and they agve me a 5% discount on my insurance. Not much, but better than nothing.

Another suggestion, since I'm assuming that a class IV hitch costs more than a class III hitch... Get a class III, it's rated for more pulling capacity than your Blazer has...
I've got a Westin bar on my Blazer, and it looks pretty good, and seems pretty solid so far... But mine was free, so I can't complain either way, lol
