Topic: Looking for a brush guard

[letsndy]

hello, im looking for the avalanche one, the one with the plastic that matches the cladding. anyone have one they wanna get rid of?

What year is yours again? Don't forget when looking the 02 is lighter than the 03-06. You make have to get a can of Gatorback to make it match if you get one  that isn't the right color.

its a 05. i havent seen any anywhere. never seen one in person lol

Ebay. $100 plus $75 shipping from California. Nice price. No bolts though and I'm sure no instructions. It's the right shade of grey.

A dealer would be able to get the bolts. Either that or trial and error at your favorite hardware store. I've been checking Craig's list also without much luck. I know you have to drill holes in your front bumper cover to mount it also.

I used to have a low profile Waag on mine and it just bolted to the tow hooks. I can't say for any of the others but the stock one is the only one I've seen. When looking around, see if they have a .pdf of the installation instructions available on the website of the one you're looking at.

yeah i was looing at the lower waag one. i like that also. how come you took it off?

Personal preference. In Ohio we have to run a front license plate and the plate wasn't centered vertically in the front runner. Drove me nuts every time I looked at it. It can be found running around WV on a white avy now. On the front of a 2500 the license plate area on the bumper sits lower and centers it real nice.

 Do ya really need 2 inch holes?? that would seem to be awfully big...

There's a pretty big bar that has to go through those holes. I've seen a memeber that took his off and just replaced it with a custom curved bar to fill those holes. I'll see if I can find a pix from a GTG.

Well I just put in a bid... got 16 hours to figure out how I'm gonna put this thing on lol you say drill holes into the cladding? I take it that this mounts to the bumper or the frame... n do you think it will bolt up to the tow hooks?

Which one did you bid on? I'll have to try to dig up the mounting procedure if its the big GM bull bar.

The OEM one on ebay for 100$ I emailed the seller n asked if its got ant noticeable scratches or dents he said no its almost new but eBay wouldn't let him list it any other way. I also asked him where it mounts up to n why he won't be sending the bolts
