What is a good Grill Guard for a Tahoe Z71?

NJSP117 · September 29, 2005

Bought an 06 Tahoe Z71 and am wondering if anyone knows what Grill Guard looks/fits the best on it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Just don't buy a chrome one. There isn't an ounce of chrome on a Z71 Tahoe to compliment a chrome grille guard IMO

I saw a black Z71 Tahoe today at lunch with a chrome brush guard and tail lamp guards, looked hideous...

What color is your Tahoe? That would determine chrome or black. Personally if I get another brushguard, it will be a warn. Because I want it to hold up in a collision and be quality made. Warn is the best in that aspect. End of story.

It's black. I was thinking a black one would be best. What do you think of Manik?

Actually I saw a Manik that looked good today. Any idea what a black one would cost for a one piece unit?

I recommend Polar Bear. They look a lot like a Manik, but are consideably less $$. This one was $400 shipped to the dealer for my buddy (I know it's a F%*d, but it gives you an idea)

Just remember if your concerned about gas mileage it will hurt it.

I have a Manik on the nose of my Silverado and it is great. Looks great and with 4 Illinois salty winters so far, no rust or corrosion. I think it looks great and is very well built. I would put a black one on your Z71.

Seriously? How much will it affect gas mileage? Is it noticable?

That's sharp. But I have never heard of Polar Bear. Are they well know by most parts dealers? Or do they sell direct? I'm all about saving money. And I know the Manik was 489.00

Someone here (pipe up) gained i believe 2-3 mpg when they took of there guard. Lets face it any change to the aero package will change fuel economy & performance. On your Tahoe taking off the 2 bars that cross the top on your top carrier wiill help some. Pickups need a tonneau cover.

Hey NJSP117...What did you end up with?...I hate to renew an old post, but I too just purchased a new Z Tahoe in Silver Birch and am looking to mount some aux lights to the front, but I'm not sure a grill guard is the answer and I'm certainly not sure which one to go with especially with the lines of the Z and the color of the Silver Birch...anyone else have any thoughts?
