For a good one, 330 is cheap. Which one was that and where did you find it?

Zorro,

I am in your same situation, i've got a 97 EB. Generally, I do a search on ebay for "Explorer Guard" and every now and then I will find a gem. I haven't had the cash yet to get one, but I have seen a few that were really tempting. You have to be patient though because I only see one every now and then. I can tell you that I have seen a brand new Tal & Haddas stainless for $300 and a new Manik Black powder coat for $300. That's my advice...I am saving my pennies right now for when the next one comes along.

$300! that's awesome, where is that?

Do not buy a cheaper one without actually seeing the brackets!!!!!!!!

I bought mine for 350 and the brackets are weak as hell. I bend them nearly every time I wheel with it.

You get what you pay for.

Jason, do you bend them back into shape? if so doesnt that make them even weaker? that doesnt seem good

 

[Jason_25]

Nope I bend em back and them weld them so they'll stay.

How tough is it to install a brushguard?
