I'm sure part of it is supply and demand. Everybody and their brother buys bolt-ons for a Jeep so you can mass produce parts and keep them cheap. On the other hand they probably only sell a handful of brushguards for an H2.

The other part of it is the market........you won't see any "budget builds" starting with a Hummer and you won't see anybody paying over $1,600 for a brushguard to put on the Wrangler they just bought for $4,000. If you can afford to start with a $50,000 vehicle, you can afford a $1,600 grill guard.
