i am looking to find a brush guard for a reasonable deal for a 4x4 96 blazer and i was wondering if anyonbe knows where i might be able to find a good one, or maybe even a bull bar.
thanks jimmy

Both Westin and Smitty built make brush and bull bars for our trucks... You're looking between 250 and 300 bux retail... Also check Ebay...

I'm looking for a bull bar myself and Ive found that the Westin bull bar is listed for 1998+ blazers....is the mounting different on my 96 than the 98? seems weird that it doesn't fit the 96

dude, you are pulling up really old threads.

Don't do that.

hahaha,
I got a Westin pushguard last year. I'm very happy with it. I also put kc daylights on them, and use them as (illegal) foglights. I called up Westin and they said the Bull bar wouldn't fit my vehicle because my "frame flange was too small." Anyhow, I bet you can do just a little fabrication if you're handy and get it on just as well. The pushbar was way easy to install. I think big ol' brushguards just don't look as nice.

Note to self: Do not cut in front of chcknugget when driving at night.

Yes there are differnt mounting brackets. I have a 97 LT, and got a brush guard off a 98, and was very unhappy to find that the mounts changed from 97 to 98.. Oh well If anyone has a 98+Blazer i've got this Manik Brush guard laying around.. Looking for 150$ + shipping (though i really hope not to ship this monster)!!

It's this one

Not sure if it's the 168650L or 168650 model.. I could check though

Doesn't have those fog lights, but does have a set attached to it. I'll take a pic of it later if anyone is interested.

On my 02 Blazer I installed a westin push bar in black $160 including shipping. I needed the mounting tabs for my fog lights. I decided against the complete pushbar/brushguard assembly. I don't want to put too much weight out in front and maybe change the handling characteristics.
