Really like the look of this. Thinking of breaking into the piggy bank for this one.
The JCWhitney site Q&A says that some cutting of the bumper is required to install the grille guard. Sounds drastic - how did you folks get on?

somebody on here has an Olympic metal bumper with the fogs and THIS brushguard added to it. It actually looks good. First time I ever saw this brushguard I called it FUGLY....and even made a thread about it. But with a real metal bumper, like I said, looks good.

it fits around the bumper, but you have to notch the plastic air dam on top and the plastic splash guard underneath for the brackets

I have one. I got mine at JC whitney for around $180 after discount( that they are always running.) This was talked about in great length in another thread. Do a search under garage - pro grille gaurd . It's made by aries but the one at JC's goes under a differant name. Very high quality construction, one piece , about 40 - 45 lbs,does have fog light mounts. It looks fantastic , but be warned, the directions leave a lot to be desired. A total P.I.T.A , but worth it. The item number at JC whitney is 300251.
wow, the site I found this on was asking $369.00 for black and $560+ for chrome.
Thanks for the feed back fellas, for the type of off-roading I'll be doing this product will do more than fine. The pics look great.

Agree that its no substitute for a good solid winch bumper but for what i need its good enough for now,
