Default Some new Goodies (brush Guard)

I just installed a Go Rhino Grille/Brush Gaurd on the front of the Express, what do y'all think? I still have to put the front air dam on it (I just got one from an 07 1/2 ton with a Chrome bumper - the full air dam instead of that little crappy piece of plastic that was on it) I like the brush guard I think it makes my van look mean I opted for some small yellow fog lights to match the rear fog lights.

I also pulled off the boring old emblems and replaced them with 3500 HD pieces from an 08 pickup. The "Chevrolet" on the back is off of a Venture I still can't find an all chrome "Chevrolet" but this one was as close as I could find and will work for now.

Very nice and mean looking. It would look imposing in my rear view mirror. Where did you purchase the grill guard? off Ebay?

Is it pretty much easy to install? no drilling or cutting?

yes I bought it off of ebay and it was very easy to install - no drilling or cutting at all , mounts up top where your bumper mounts and to the frame usine existing holes at the bottom

well I installed the airdam that GM says is for 1/2 ton vans with chrome bumpers only. To me it is the little details like this that make a vehicle what do you guys think?

Thanks for the compliment, yes I regurlaly (atleast once a week) tow between 3000 and 9000 lbs. I have the 6.0 in it but I really couldn't tell you the milage because I have a company card and I have never figured it out. I am getting ready to fill up and I'll keep track and tell you tomorrow. as for gearing my rear axle ratio is 4.10.

I would like to purchase the same brush guard that you have, would you happen to have a number that I can reference it when I call Go Rhino my van is a 1997 chevy 3500 express.

Thanks,

Tony
