H3 Brushguard, OEM or aftermarket ??

[4508js]

I've been trying to find a brushguard for my H3 and I know there are many different styles out there. I really like the look of the SAR Predator brushguard but they are a little pricie, so I'm prolly going to settle with an OEM style one. My question is......is there really that much difference (other then price) in an OEM one compared to say an Aries one and if so, what's the difference ? Also what are your opinions between OEM and aftermarket ? Thanks in advance

Keep checking Craigslist I was able to find an OEM Brush Guard for $100 local.

That's what guys keep telling me but apparently Hummers aren't as popular in TN as they are other areas of the country (especially west coast) lol. I still check Craigslist, eBay, and of course H4O everyday

I don't think there's much of a quality difference between most of the brushguards. Just find one that meets your style (and budget)

The only thing I can think of is some of the after market ones are bolt together ones so if you're looking for strength I'd stay away from those. all of the one piece ones I've seen seem as good as or better than an OEM one

I was the lucky guy to buy the S&R Predator brushguard from H3TBone so I'm no longer looking to get one. I'm very happy with the BG too, it looks awesome
