Default D1 Brush Guard (Worth it?)

Tell me what you think if I should grab this or if I should just wait. And how much should I offer?

i have them. they're fine for protecting the front around town and shopping mall but they're not built well. they rust easy and probably have started. the off road guys hate 'em. i just cut mine down to an A.

Factory brush gaurds often do more harm than good. Even the smallest of impact will bend it back into your hood. Now instead of just a bumper you'll need a hood too. With the age of these vehicles and their decreasing value a bumper and hood could make the vehicle a total loss. Save your money for a real bumper.

Stay away from it, they were rust collectors when new and this one is already falling apart.

Don't buy it, it will just rust away on the front of your truck over the next year. In it's current state it is not strong enough to offer you any protection.
