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

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.
