Default Grille guard question!!

Hello guys i wanna get some protection up front in my 89 cherokee what kind of brush guard or grille guard do you guys recommend? The ones ive seen are super expensive running from around 400 to 600 bucks do you guys know of anything cheaper? And have any pics to see what mine would look like? Thanks for any help

are you wnating one that wraps around the front or are you wanting something that is just a hoop to protect it?

I'd go with a JCR stage 3 front bumper.

I have been wondering this same thing. I see em all the time on factory bumpers and i woudl like to go that route. The warn transformer is cool, but i have no need for a winch and its kinda pricey. I want something that can take a hit from a deer and not do as much damage to body work...
