Brush guard recommendations??
I have been searching for a brush guard for a 04 4Runner and I have not been able to decide which one I like. Any one have any suggestions or pics that could help?

I have a WAAG wrap around style front brush guard. Cost about $500, which is fairly reasonable. You can get it in a one-piece style which is stronger. I like the way it mounts to the frame, seems sturdy. I did have a Polar Bear model first which was a little more angled and looked a little better, until I realized it was angled so that one side was lower than the other. It wasn't too obvious but I definitely noticed it. I bought it from a nice place that ordered 3 more for me- each was bent in a similar fashion, so that's why I went with a WAAG in the end. FYI, they make rear bumper guards too, which compliment the front guard nicely. I will be posting pics of my 4runner this Weekend, which has both, so keep your eyes peeled for photos.

Anyone have a photo of a 4th gen 4Runner with the Westin Sportsman KD Grille Guard attached? A photo with the Titanium finish would be a plus also since that is the color I have. Any help would be great.
Here is the website with the brush guard. Anyone have a site that is cheaper?

Actually any photos of the Titanium 04 4Runner would be a huge help if anyone out there has them.

I would recommend go with Manik. I've SS Manik. Looks amazing and works fine.

Like you, I love the look of the JAOS, but the price is way to steep for me. I would love to see some pics of your ride with the Manik grill guard. Still undecided at this point, but I am leaning towards the Manik.

I'll try to make them tomorrow. As soon as I'll have them, I'll post them here. Can you wait 1-2 days for them?

Yeah I can wait. I am going to have to wait awhile, getting married in 6 weeks and all of my attention is to that.

Looks like it fit great for me; I'll make some pictures to show it. Just first impression: after I installed it, I couldn't get used to it from inside the vehicle. I can see these tubes in front of my hood. But after a day of driving I got used to it. Now I definitely like it.

What are the weight of different guards? Are they all about the same?
