Where can I get a cheap Grille Brush Guard?

Where can I get a cheap Grille Brush Guard? for a 1997 4runner SR5? I found one on ebay but I'm kinda on a budget. Anyone can help with this? I'm in southern California.

I got my brush guard from those people on ebay and its nice, i think with shipping and everything the cost was like $230 so its pretty cheap and it seems to be pretty good quality. So i would recommend it.

Where can I get a cheap Grille Brush Guard?

I found one on craig's list $175 bucks and it was brand new. It took about a month to find one in great shape, I would just keep checking every couple of days. Good Luck

The Hunter Brush Guard (brand sold almost exclusively on ebay) is the cheapest you are going to find. I ordered and installed one of these 6 months ago, and you do get what you pay for:

1) black powder coat is fairly thin, scratches down to bare metal easily which will then rust quickly

2) all the hardware that came with the brush guard is crap. I went out to ACE and bought rust-resistant stronger bolts/washers/nuts for about $40 total.

3) Steel is somewhat weak, and does vibrate quite a bit. I fixed this by custom fabricating some brackets that connect to the frame through the grille. Pics upon request.

4) all in all, unless your looking to spend $600+, Hunter or used is the only option. I went with Hunter, and it looks great although may not stay that way for more than a few years...
