Brush/grille Guards

Wondering if anyone would recommend a specific grill/brush guard for an '04 Scab. I'd love to see some pics too if you've got em. Thanks.

these guys have a pretty good product, and it's cheaper than the Westin one. they also have a black powdercoated one

I had a nice Westin one on my 01 but the only thing I didnt like was the truck was a Sport truck with the painted bumpers and it scratched the bumper pretty bad and you had to cut holes in the lower part of the bumper for the brackets to fit through. Should you decide to remove it at some point it leaves some ugliness behind.

good point, that shouldn't be an issue if you have a 4x4. the push bars and grill guards bolt where the tow hooks are.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I've seen alot of grilles online, but my '04 has the new body style. It seems that most of the pictures you see are of the old body style.

I have a Westin bullbar with PIAA 520's on mine. Pics are in gallery. It accents the truck well without hiding most of it. If I could do it again, I would, love the look, no regrets, great fit. The pics tell all!

I have a push bar. I just don't get into the weeds enough to go with a big guard.

CTUNIT, Before you buy any brush/grille guard, check out the ''Waag & or Manik'' units. I've had about all there is & these two are top dogs. I recently hit a Mulie doe doing 60 mph, there was only $1007.00 damage, I have a '04 scab 4X4 with a WAAG BGguard. Very low damage & NO air bag deployment. Don't get a chrome/SS guard the headlights spray all over the area & gets very anoying. Check them out, & take no second joices. Tubo

PS On the net type in either name
