PATHFINDER95NI Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Gentlemen I am looking at getting a new grille guard. The one I have now mounts to where the original tow hooks mounted, is way too close to the ground, and really reduced the approach angle. So I was wondering if anyone out there as a good manufactuer to go to. Any ideas? Thanks Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Luker Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Go without a brushguard or get a proper bullbar/winch bumper if you must have actual front end protection. ARB or TJM or custom build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLApathy Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 you need a real bumper, like FF said ARB/TJM or in this case KMA, click on thie sentence for KMA's website this is KMA's pathy bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Luker Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 KMA? Oh brother not that rubbish again Two of my close friends ordered and waited for many many months just to receive crappily designed, badly built and ill fitting products. I can't recommend them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadkennedys Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 i love my arb it is soo great to have plus its good for puching anything over. and if a deer jumps infront of your car you tend to mow it down instead of destroying your car....

PATHFINDER95NI Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 Thanks for the replies guys, but I dont really need anything that heavy duty (although they do look sweet, and would be nice to have anyway) all I really need is a light bar, or even a bracket to mount the lights on to. I have been looking at a few companies (Manik, Westin, GoRhino, etc.) but have found nothing for the Pathfinder. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHSER7 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I have a Westin push bar in chrome. I've also got the brush guards but haven't put them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHSER7 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Yeah, I really wish my KC daylighters fit the mounts that are on the lower bar though. I do love how this one goes between the fogs and turnsignals, rather than over the fogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATHFINDER95NI Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Yeah, thats nice. I also like how it goes between the fogs and turn signals. The one I have now goes right over the fog lights. Do you have a part number? Another thing, do you have a problem with approach angles? How much clearence do you have between the bottom of the guard and the ground? Although this is more of what I was looking for: http://www.gorhino.com/rhino-charger.html This is the style I was looking for, something like this would be less willing to dig into the grond when landing then the one above. Thats what Im trying to avoid here. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 You are planning to do nose dives with a stock bumper? I guess it's nothing a 5 gallon bucket of bondo won't cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about approach angle, there aren't many steep inclines in south Florida. lol The Westin Part numbers are as follows: 36-1710 push bar 36-1715 brushguard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowser Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 You can also look at Smitty's stuff. Maybe something you like there. Not many options for the Olser Nissan's though as you can see. http://www.smittybiltinc.com/ Dowser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
