Anyone have a push bar they are not interested in keeping installed?

The .gov sites are very limited. Seems to be only new ones on eBay. Online via retailers are OK but.. with 100k on my Suburban, I do not necessarily need brand new. It can have some bumps and bruises to match.

Looking for a GoRhino or maybe the Setina... something more low profile. Not a huge, obstrusive brush guard.

In the DC area.

Thank you.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm looking for a Setina or GoRhino but I'm not able to find any used ones. I've heard that they scrap them after the trucks reach the end of their service cycle over here in Canada. :mad:

I found a GR on eBay. It did not have the mounts. The mounts are $100+ new.

I need to check local upfitters, too

Shop that decommissioned my truck cut the Setina brackets that were on my truck. New ones go for $300 CDN.

Large selection of brand new pushbumpers, they won't be as cheap as finding a surplus one, but they are brand new and come with all the brackets, bolts, and warranties.

I highly recommend a Setina PB450 or a Westin Pushbumper Elite. I have a Westin on mine and it's great, and they are the toughest bars on the market outside of custom made ones. Setinas are also great and we mount hundreds of them annually.

I use progard. I actually used mine to push stuff and have been bent, bent back, rusted and repainted. The problem with this style is that they mount in place of the front toe hooks. The push bar follows the curve of the bumper so there no real support of you intend to use it as a pushbar.

That is sharp. More pics of it? Up close? Side view? Prefer it over other bars?

All of the pushbumpers for the Tahoe utilize the front tow hook mounts, but I believe Go-Rhino or someone made tow-hooks that could mount to the pushbumper itself.

they pop up on ebay from time to time, craigslist would be also a good venue for a used one. Patience will get you something decent. I would also check your local used police car dealerships to see if they will sell you some overstock items

I have a GoRhino, the push bar itself has holes in the side that i am pretty confident you can attach a hook to in case you need to pull the car out of shit. the push bar itself is well made, definitelly not generic ebay stuff, i wouldnt worry too much about damaging it in case you need to push or ger pulled out

I have the original Setina with the wrap arounds if anyone is interested. I used the mounts for my new Go Industries Quad bumper so you will have to come up with those. The bumper itself is fairly large but is made out of aluminum so shipping shouldn't be too bad.

If anyone in chicago area or somewhat near wants to buy mine, I am selling it. I bought it brand new, no rust, no issues, about 4 months old. Send me a PM if interested. It's a full wrap around but the headlight guards can be removed easily to leave just the center portionIf anyone in chicago area or somewhat near wants to buy mine, I am selling it.

I just bought a F150 push bar off craigslist for $45. Luckily I'm a certified welder and can adapt it to the tahoe. It's a setina. So I can get accessories for Led lights for it cheap.

material and the male parts that matches. I'm going to make the push bumper a plug and play item.
