Default What type of brushguard/bumper to get?

I need to get a brushguard or bumper for my Xpedition 425 and was wondering if anyone could help me decide which one works and looks the best. My main concerns for the brushguard/bumper is my Radiator and bumper. I really want more protection for my radiator and bumper. I do most of my riding in heavily wooded areas so protection is needed for the front. Of course I would like it to look pretty darn good but my first priority is Protection for the front of my Xpedition! I'd like a solid heavy duty brushguard or bumper (which ever protects my radiator and composite bumper the best) that I could use to on the trail (going over logs, through ditches, over small trees etc.)

Anyone have any suggestions, pictures, experience etc???

Thanks for all the help!!!

Go with the Polaris brands. I have the full brush guard , too. The winch sits behind a plate and is totally hid except the roller fairlead and the hook. The Polaris stuff costs more thats why you dont see as many. The Polaris full brushguard protects the radiator, bumper, and the lights.

I agree with both of you, I really like the Polaris Gen. IV brushguards but will they fit a 425?
I had seen the Gen. IV brushguards on the Polaris Website but it didn't say whether they would fit a 425. I know the older model brushguard will work BUT I would rather have the new Gen. IV, it offers a lot more protection (plus it looks better!)

Any more ideas??

Thanks again for all the help!!!

Nice bumper. (and Polaris 400)

Where did you get the bumper and what was the cost? Also, how well does it protect the radiator and does it help keep brush/trees off your front bumper?

Thanks for the help!!!!

I got mine from http://www.rockymountainatv.com/ - I think it was like $80. It is very stout and I recommend it!
