post pics of brushguard/bullbar on obs

I tried searching, but that didn't get me far. Just wondering if anyone who has the obs (old body style 97-03) can post a pic or speak up if they have a bullbar or brushguard on their trucks, and if they are at stock ride height or not (I want to know if I should get a new one after my lift).

Thanks in advance

I also have a westin Sportsman I got yesterday... Will post pics when I get them, but I have a question for those of you that have one:

The smaller bracket that goes between the bumper and grill has easily identifiable places to bolt it in, but did you have to cut your bumper pad to get it to fit? I bought mine off a guy who had it installed, and I didnt notice anything like that, but now that its on mine, the bracket sits around 1.5 inches away from the frame because of this plastic...

Any pictures of this would help.

Thanks!!!

Mine didn't fit because of the body lift so I just didn't install them. Been on like that for 2 years no prob. I'd post a close up pic but I no longer have a camera that works.

Cool... I just re-tightened the bolts today (I drove with it on so I think they seated a bit better-- this morning I got an extra 1/4 turn out of them) then sprayed Rust Oleum over the bolts, so I figure unless I hit something pretty hard, I am going to be good to go.

You're not the first person I have talked to that said not to worry about those things... which is good news for me.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks all - right now I have a luverne brush guard and after I get the lift on I think I'm going to take it off. I dunno - I like it and all, but I think it's too much for the front. I have clear lightning heads and corners with a chrome billet grill. Right now the guard takes away from that, although I like the protection when I go offroad / wooded areas.

I guess I'll find out once I get the lift on :o
