Brush guard from ebay...thoughts?

What do u think of this... I know its from ebay but im in college what r ya gonna do . Lmk what ya think http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

 

looks good man.................im getting the exact one shortly!!! when i install mine, im gonna weld the weaker points on it so its a little more solid.

 

really!!! Thats awsome. Full out bumpers r too much and ive been lookin around and it looks solid. I might have it ordered soon along with a muffler cant stand my vehicles stock exhaust. When you get it can you show me where u welded i might just have to copy u hehe

 

oh yeah.....soon as i get it and install it.....i'll do that man. what muffler you gonna go with?

 

im thinkin the magnaflow 4in round muffler. i like the way mag sounds

 

sounds good man!!

 

looks like a really good deal

 

is this bumper light mountable?

 

yep.....there are 2 tabs for mounting lights.

 

That is the exact one i have on my truck. Im very happy with it. I would go for it if i were you.

 

I've looked at the same one on Ebay for my '01. It was listed @ $229 and free shipping. I really like the looks of it, but for some reason it seems that everyone on CustomTacos bashes brush guards. I like the way it looks, and I know that it's not gonna protect my front end in a high impact crash. It will give some protection during moderate off roading though. I'm like you, I'd like to have the ARB Bull Bar or something similar, but I don't have the $600+ to throw down for something like that. Only think I'm concerned about is rust. I bought nerf bars from the same company, and they've began to rust where rock debris has chipped the powdercoat. I'm gonna clean them up and coat them with bedliner spray. I'll probably do it to the brush guard when I get it too.

 

Believe me they will pay for themselves one day!! Deer, shopping carts, sliding into a mailbox or rearending someone ...all things that the 'cheap' brushguards will protect your truck from
