Looking for recommended brush guard!
Hey guys!
I'm looking for a decent brush guard for my new cherokee. Any recommendations?
I ebay'ed them, but didnt come up with a whole lot of results. Figured someone on here would know a good place to get one from would be.
Not looking to spend a ton of money on it, and I also dont plan to ever install a winch, so it shouldnt have the setup for that.
Thank you for any and all help!

Thought about a whole bumper? Nates are "cheap" and are built right.

I got a stock one off Craigslist. Honestly that's your best bet. Was listed for about 9 minutes and then I jumped on it. There's a chance you could find one in a junkyard but all the Cherokees here don't have them. Just the blazers and imports.
Here's mine:

i actually saw both of those guards on ebay. the first one caught my attention because it has the hooks in the front. i see it replaces the bumper, but what about the bumper guards that protect crappola from getting up into the engine? i cant tell from the one or two pics he has if the new bumper compensates for this. i hope that makes sense, i may not have said it the best...
as for the second, i was going to go with that one but wanted to look around some more first.

As far as protecting the jeep a brush guard that bolts on the stock bumper is more for looks then anything.You can get a true off road bumper cheap from one of our vendors https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f10/

Btw it doesn't come tow hooks. I got those at harbor freight for $10 each. You will also need tow hook brackets to add a brush guard. Not all Cherokees came with the bracket. Brackets are $50-75 online. So $50 brackets, $20 hooks, + cost of brush guard. You might be better off getting an actual offroad bumper.
