Didn't have any problems mounting it. It mounts in two locations. One in the middle that attaches to the bumper and one at the bottom that attaches to the frame. The one that attaches to the frame attaches to the side of it andkinda pivits so it can be adjusted up or down.

Waiting for my sister to get home to use her camera for pics. Ill take some of how its mounted.

 

PICS!!!! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2669689/1 The first couple are with just a 2" BL and 31" tires. And the pics showing where the brush guard is mounted are at the very bottom. Let me know what you think.

 

OHHHH, ok. I know what brush guard that is. My buddy with a 98 2 doorBlazer had the same one. That mountsvery similarlylike the way thehunter does, just different brackets. Lookin really nice man. Give me a week or so and I'll be right up there with ya.......just gotta get me some wheel spacers or new rims. Just curious, what backspacing you got on those rims. Just getting ideas for what size spacers i may need.

 

No idea on the BS, I bought them used off my buddys blazer. He had them on his 94 blazer 4x4

 

Thats cool. I got a good feeling where i want to be with my tires as it is and i can just take a tape measure to see how far i want my tires to stick out and get spacers based on that.

 

Looks good, I like it. That is exactly what I want my blazer to look like.

that doesnt mount like the hunter brush guard for 98+ blazers..... The 1996 bumper is held on by different brackets than the 1998+ models........ that is why most brush guars, push bars, and safari bars will either fit 94-97 models or 98+ and not both... I still think there will be clearance issues with the guard and a 2" bl on yours RCars..... you will probably have to fab something.... but I have confidence that you will figure out how to make it work... let us know how it goes and please prove me wrong because I would like to do the same thing with my blazer..lol

The reason I know they mount different is because my buddy has a 1995 blazer and we were gonna try to put my brush guard on his blazer because I was thinkin bout trading mine in. It wouldn't mount because the bumper bolts on to the truck in a different way/location...

^ this is from hunters ebay add.... 98-04 only..... it is different than the pre-98 blazers.... the bumper, grille, headlights, etc.. bolt on a bit different... also check out westins website, there are different mounting kits and part numbers for 1998-04 blazers and pre-98 blazers..... RCars can make this fit because he works with metal, if you do not work with metal or cannot fab your own brackets, this may not work, so wait to spend your money until RCars figures out if it will work, and if it will not how you can make it work...

 

Thanks for the info a_tack. I don't have the money right now for a body lift or a brush guard so I will definately be waiting till fall to do anything + I might not even get a brush guard ( I would really like to though), so I am sure RCars2 will be done installing and fabing by then.

Good point there, the older ones use a different setup. However what i was referring to was that it was possible going on thatthe version for the 98+ mounts similarly to the hunter on the bumper mount if i remember right.......so it was a glimmer of hope, LOL. I still think i can pull this off and if not my trusty plasma torch and welder will see some action. I've been looking at some kit shots and instruction guidesand im feeling pretty good that this will work and for one main reason. Click this link and look at instruction 10d and part number 151. Its just a simple plate and if anything all i gotta do is maybe drill one hole and pop a bolt and nut in. That should be it. Even at that im not certain thats even nessesary. But time will tell and im hoping im right. At any rate ill let you all know when i get it in which should be by the end of the week.

 

i see what ur talking about..... looks like it just might work with minor or no modification........... let me know how it goes and if the guard still mounts right above and below the bumper.... maybe you could snap alot of pics and do a little how-to on mounting a brush guard with a body lift, if you have to fab something.
