Chrome Grill Guard - Only Westin??

Flapjack · Mar 15, 2003

I did a search in the forums, and as far as I can tell, Westin is the only company that makes a chrome grill guard for the AV.

I searched online, but I couldn't only find the Westin application for the AV. I even looked at their website, http://www.westinautomotive.com/

I must be blind.

Also, who sells Westin stuff for a reasonable price?

Hey Flapjack, saw a chrome grill guard on an Av at a local Montana dealer made by Mr. Pickup. :0:

You might also try GoGrilleGuard.com to see if they might have something. Hope this helps in your mod search.

Go Rhino also makes a Chrome Grill Guard.

Looks like they also came out with a Bull Bar..

I like the full grill guards much better, though.

I really like the looks of the WAAG, but it's only black. Does anyone have word if they'll be making a chrome version?

I recently saw a nice guard very similar to the WAAG here in NC, but I didn't catch the make.

Manik also makes a highly polished stainless one that looks like crome--
also has matching tube steps

I must be blind, because I can't find Grill Guards anywhere on that site. At first, I put in the make/model to narrow the choices. But then I browsed the whole site.

I found grills no problem, but no grill guards.

The Manik is definitely sweet, but over $1000?? Ouch. I would get the Westin, strip it, and have it chrome plated before I spent that much!

There is a discussion on a Tal & Hadas grill gaurd. I have a Tal and Hadas grill guard on the front of my truck. I didn't buy the chrome, i bought the black. Go to the Tal&Hadas discussion.

Tal & Hadas Forum

The cool thing I like about Tal & Hadas is you get the skid tubs that protect your front bumper cladding. There is also a gruop buy on this, so you can get free shipping I know that for sure. Your disscounts are differetn for the Chrome then the black which I got. So call them and see what they are willing to offer you.

Dude did you get the Bull Bar or the Brushguard

??
I have been waiting for the Bull bar but they don't know if it will fit on my truck because of the brackets. They advertise the availability of the Bull bar but say that no one is selling it? WHich one do you have

??

Now that is nice! ...and much more reasonably priced!

I got the brushguard as you call I just call the whole thing the grill guard. I don't see why the bull guard won't fit your Avalanche. ?it is basicly the same as mine but with out the wings to cover the lights.

They must have resolved their problems then because I have in in contact with them regularly up untill a month ago and they said you could not get a Grill Guard or Bull Bar from anyone even though they were advertising them. There was an issue with the mounting. They weren't sure if the Avalanche model would in fact fit the Avalanche.

Well thanks for the heads up. I guess they unscrewed themselves.

Tal & Hadas did have a problem with the mounting brackets, but they solved it back in January. They had to wait for aproval. The government before they could use them.
