Sir ffeJ said:Well I just heard from Setina about how the bar mounts. They sent me the install instructions specific for the trailblazer and I must say, I'm thoroughly not pleased on how it mounts. The instructions say you have to cut(yes I said cut) four slots into the bumper fascia to mount it. Well that blows, why would I want to ruin a perfectly good($100 plus)bumper just to mount this bar. If I wanted to remove it and sell the truck or something like that. I would have four slot cuts in the fascia of the bumper.
I figured with a price like $400 plus dollars, I wouldn't have to sacrifice my bumper at the same time.

I had a cheap version with the bolt on headlight protectors at one point and it was less than half that price shipped. I think 160 or 180ish.

IllogicTC said:Could get one of those "Super Mall-Crawler" ones that bolt underneath and wrap around under and up, needless to say up toward the higher end of the bar a fundamental concept in physics called leverage takes a lot bigger role.
johndeereguy said:What's up everyone I've got an older brush guard made by polar bear I got from my buddy. My only issue is I didn't get the mounts with the guard. I've tried looking online for the mounts and I cant find them any where. I checked the mounting on it and it basically mounts to where the center bushings are on the sway bar. It doesn't mount to the tow hooks or engine cradle. I was kind of hoping someone here has one of these brush guards or one similar and could possibly post me a pic or two of what the mounts are supposed to look like as I can make them. Or a website that I can just order them from that would be great...........
HARDTRAILZ said:Take a look at my build thread...
That was me when I had first joined. If I could get my hands on a welder, I would make my own guard that would have a tube that sips in the RV slot and bolts to the RV bolt holes....if that makes sense...IllogicTC said:I thought I had read something about someone getting something like this which shares the holes with (or maybe replaces?) the tow hooks up on the front, rather than rolling under the bumper. Not sure that this is exactly ideal either, but hey. I personally see more of a cosmetic use than actual use for something like this, unless you go with the drilling holes in your bumper.
Sir ffeJ said:I'm not getting stainless for that reason and I don't like it. To bright. Black and I might also get it powder coated. I really don't like the look of a tb with the headlight grill covers. Looks to bulky.
But hay, each to their own. You like what you like and I like what I like.

looked at the pic, but it doesnt look like it has mounts for a light bar or small flood lights.Matt said:
You could easily drill some holes to mount lights where you want them, and possibly even run the wiring inside the bar, depending on how you wanted to route them.diablo2184 said:looked at the pic, but it doesnt look like it has mounts for a light bar or small flood lights.
That's what I'd be doing. Every other bar that I've looked at requires you to notch out the bumper or fascia and they mount to the radiator mounts.Blckshdw said:You could easily drill some holes to mount lights where you want them, and possibly even run the wiring inside the bar, depending on how you wanted to route them.
