So, Westin makes one - looks like the one Explorer Express sells.

DeeZee makes one.

Who else?

Trying to decide which to buy, leaning towards the Westin, unless there's something nastybad about it.

Manik one piece is nice...
 






Steel Horse used to make one. Very strongly built. The fit and finish isn't like Manik but it is a lot less money.
 






Are you looking for the black or chrome Westin? I can hook you up with a good price either way.

Give me a call or e-mail.

Manik, one piece black!
 






I like the Westin Sportsman one, I like how it contours to the lines of the grill.
 






Manik One Piece Black... but hey, im biased!

Did you buy one for 95-98's explorers?
 






lol....good question...mine was a gift so i dunno. The one I have goes straight up instead of bending to show the grill.
 






I bought the one for a 99-01 X. I fit it to mine b/c i like how it curves to the grille. It matches the lines of the X so much better... And I dont like how it goes straight up...it just looks awkward.....I knew I wanted a Manik and a one piece that curved.... so i made it fit!! The frames are the same... If you search, there are a bucnh of threads from july/august 2003 of how i did it and such
I like how it hugs the body nice and tight too.

That looks a lot like the Steel Horse I was talking about.

kythri is from Albany, Oregon. I was just there a few days ago!!

I like the grill guard on my truck, it's a centerpiece, (no covering the headlight area) and works great for me.
