As a Hummer H2 owner, you are king of the road. Your H2 is your chariot. And like any chariot, it needs defending, which is where a good brush guard comes in. With a good quality H2 brush guard, you can protect your Hummer’s grille from loose stones or pavement, flying debris, or even the occasional wild shopping cart. The grille is what gives your Hummer its aggressive, bad-boy rugged image, and it’s also what protects your radiator and engine, which is why you need to outfit your truck with this customized Hummer accessory.
So what type of things should you look for? First off, make sure that the guard is made from stainless steel, not just chrome-plated. Sure, both look shiny, but all brush guards will eventually encounter flying road debris, salt, bugs, off-road brush or other obstacles. If you settle for one with chrome-plating or chrome paint, you’ll find that they can rust once even the smallest surface chips occur. Springing for stainless steel is worth the peace of mind.
For the most part, H2 brush guards come in four basic styles:
* Standard, which means it is bolted on and fits directly over the grill and headlights
* Single-tier wrap around, which means the diameter of the tubing is larger, making for a more impressive grill guard and the sides “wrap around” the edge of your Hummer’s grille, giving a more sleek look
* Double tier wrap around, which protect both the grille and top of your engine hood, and offers wider protection for your grille, radiator and engine
* Over-the-hood wrap around, which is the most aggressive style, as it extends higher and wider than the single-tube option and the brush guard extends from the grille and headlights to the top half of your hood for the ultimate in protection
Installing the guard is not that difficult and can be done by most do-it-yourselfers. However, if the thought of bolting an accessory to the front of your vehicle intimidates you, then don’t hesitate to contact your nearest automobile customization shop.
At the end of the day it will come down to your taste. You can’t go wrong with any of the options mentioned. All will provide both the protection and appearance that you are looking for in customizing the front end of your Hummer. Whatever your needs, as long as you keep these features in mind, you will find the H2 brush guard that’s right for you, and help keep your Hummer looking like new for years to come.
Hummer accessories can really add to the look of the SUV and an H2 brush guard not only adds a customized look but can protect your vehicle as well.
