Should I take my brushguard off?
I have been thinking lately, that my 4Runner would look a lot cleaner without the brushguard on it, so I figured I'd get everybody's opinions on here before I make a decision. If I decide to take it off I'll put it up for sale along with the Hella 500's and the Skid Plate.

With the brushguard


Or without...


What looks better?

I think it needs the chrome of the brush guard to balance/match the chrome of the grille.. I say keep it

I think the best thing to do is buy another black 02 sport, mod it the same minus the guard and have the best of best worlds.

you could buy another black one and black it out w/ lift for offroad, then have that black one for a daily driver... now that would be tight

Yeah, one day whenever I get a real job I might consider doing that. But right now I'm leaning towards taking the brushguard off, for some reason I think it'll look better without it. I will add something else to the front though, not sure what..

I think it looks cleaner w/o the brush guard. My 98 has a brush guard right now and the only thing keeping it on is I dont like the stock grill. You have a sick grill that gives your truck a custom look w/o the need of the brush guard to spice it up.

Against the popular vote, I say ditch it.
