Aftermarket full front brushbars. Who'e got 'em, how much and where. How about instalation ease? I want one that wraps around the front fender a little if you know what I mean. I guess I really am trying to hang on to my 2000 LTD. Plus, haven't had as much as a nible from add over in classifieds.

Thank you. That is exactly what I'm looking for. Is it one piece? What was price without install? Just curious.<br /><br />Hayduke lives.

Here's another option to consider - http://www.manik.com/outlet/index.asp Manik

I purchased a black powder coated Manik two piece front grille guard off of their online seconds store. It cost me $300.50 ($225.50 + $75.00 S&H), which I thought was a great deal. They describe the damage to their seconds on the website and do a pretty good job describing things. The guard I bought was the least "damaged" of those available at the time, and when I got it, it appears to have been used for a store display model. It has some minor surface scuffs and scratches and surface rust on some nuts and at the joint, but they are all minor and the guard was fully functional. The damage was so minor I just went ahead and put it on my truck when I got it. I plan to clean it up and repair the damage once warm weather returns. I did a quick scan of their inventory just now, and they've only got a couple items (one black and one chrome plated) for the Tundra and both of them have small dents. When I bought mine I had a choice of three different guards, so if you're interested, it might be worth checking their list every onece in awhile.

Thanks "T". This board has some really good people. Thank you all. I need to sell my '98 Jeep TJ Wrangler Sport $12K and my 1986 Chevy 1/2 Ton 4x4 V6 4spd pick-up $3K, in order to hold on to this Tundra. I got a little ahead of myself. But it had only 15K miles, and it's loaded. $24K was the price before Tax, Reg. etc. Hayduke lives

Hayduke,I just installed the smittybilt bumper thumper and brushguards last night took about 2 hrs. I`ve got the chrome one , bought it from truck performance for $339.00 with shipping , it was on sale at the time plus free shipping . It`s seems too be good and sturdy so I might be able to bump an elk or two when their standing around in the road at night. I don`t thing it`s sturdy enought to thump the buffalo that stand around in the road during the day and night up here in yellowstone country. Grizz

hayduke,
I have these on mine http://www.autoseattle.com/tal_and_hadas.htm, looks sweet on the tundra esp. w/ their skid plate to match the tubings. They are just as tuff or evn tuffer than smitty. Light too. Took me 45 min. to install it. I got it for 500 $. or if you got the cash go w/ jAOS. they are unique, superb and nice-i might just get that later. mmmm...vik

I have a Polar Bear bull bar on mine. paid my 4x4 shop dude $330.00 and that is with his standard 10% markup.

It is a Real Easy bolt on to frame set up and not very heavy.

I have a picture of it in "my pictures" under the name of "Eric's Toy"
