Which guard is preferred? 2004 model?
Which grille/brush guard is considered the preferred guard for 2003/2004?

I won't be doing a lot offroading, but strength, style, & appearance are my biggest concerns.

So far Tal Hadas has peaked my interest, Bull bar with skid tubes.

WAAG, Westin, Tal Hadas, smitybilt etc etc

I saw a black Tal Hadas on a black '03/'04 the other day and for some reason it didn't look as good as I thought it would. I think it was because there were just too many bars. Another thing that look funky (and remember these are just my opinions) was that the two main supports that come up from under the bumper were slanted in towards the top.

I have been thinking about a brush guard as well, but got blocked by a furniture purchase that my wife thought was more important. Anyway, here is a good thread on brush guards.

::EDIT::

Loyd, are you snowed in right now?

jaos
i have the jaos center bar and skid plate.
the jaos brush guard looks sweet.
jaos is spendy, but i think it is by far the best looking setup available for the 4runner. i also think the quality is second to none.

I got the Wagg Brush guard, but would get Safari Guard if I had to do it all over again. IMO the Jaos looks a little to bling and :gay:

How about getting the Safarigard and ebaying the stuff you have?

I ordered the rear bumper and still deciding on the sliders...


I might end up doing that. Really love the rear bumper

and the brush guard looks awesome. Post some pics when you get yours.
