Re: Titanium Brush Guard?
Make sure you aren't buying a steel brush guard that is powdercoated with a
titanium colored powder. This is a pretty common way to make brush guards.
I'm not sure if I've ever seen one actually made out of titanium, and it
would no doubt cost much more than the stainless one. Titanium tubing is
very expensive and quite difficult to weld.

I agree!
There are some sleaze ball Jeep shops out there that take big advantage
over people that don't know any better!

Re: Titanium Brush Guard?
Ah, you guys are probably right. I know from the fact that titanium bikes
are $4000+ that something didn't seem right. I couldn't see how titanium
would ever be cheaper than SS.
Thanks!
