Default Looking for a grille/brush guard...

I'm looking for a grille/brush guard for my 2000 blaze LS 2dr... I would like a brush guard that doesn't hinder my ground clearance. I've heard of the brush guards that hook into the front tow hook spot... Does anybody have suggestions on brands that make these?

Just looking for some advice. I'd ideally like to find a used one in decent condition...

From what I have heard, Hunter brushguards about the easiest, cheapest, and very durable for the price. They go on ebay for about $200 shipped I think. There are quite a few blazers on here that have them, the one I can think of off the top of my head is RCars2, he has one and has been very pleased from what i have heard.

Couldn't have said it better myself. And yes, its $240 shipped from ebay. I've nothing to complain about it, its better than I thought it would be.

They look pretty sweet! Thanks for the tip!

Do they reduce your ground clearance in the front?

You don't lose ground clearance, but your approach angle suffers a little bit...

I've duffed the front a few times since I've had mine put on, lol...

You can crank your t-bars 1-1.5 turns(gives about a 1/4' lift) to counter the extra weight in the front

Yeah, it's something like 1 turn for every 1/4"
