Brush Guards...which one!

Well, I'm giving some serious consideration to selling my AVID lightbard (line-x'd) and getting a black brush guard. I know not many people are fond of them but I actually like them. I was wondering which one out of all the very many I should look at. Thanks guys.

Check out the ones made by WAAG. I do not have one but was checking them out on their website. They look to be quality built.

 

ur light bar is way nicer then a brushguard imo...id keep it or get a plate bumper

 

Do you want one just for the looks or do you want one that could provide adequate protection?

 

Preferably one that has a decent amount of protection and that looks good.

Westin makes brush guards that can hold a winch also. Aries And Steelcraft are some other brands to look in to.
Here's a link to a site that sells a couple different brands of brush guards and bull bars for a decent price. I have also been considering buying a brush guard.

check out Ranch Hand and Frontier Truck Gear

 

Go Rhino product on my truck. I am satisfied.

 

I would echo Ranch Hand then (or any one piece guard). They seem to be pretty sturdy. Unless they've changed something they should be a 1 piece guard.

The grill guards with the bolt on brush guards can't take much of a hit before they take out a fender themselves. My FIL has a Westin. The grill guard portion that bolts to the frame pretty sturdy but the brush guards will flex just going through a car wash. I've had a few friends with other stuff and pretty much same story with bolt together guards.

 

If you are going to spend the money you have already saved, save a little longer and buy a solid full front bumper. You will have looks and protection. Best of both worlds. Brush guards provide minimal protection, sometimes even cause more damage.

 

Where could I find more information on that? I'm not worried about looks. If I hit a deer around these parts I would like to be the winner.

 

Does anyone know if the Go Rhino will fit with the optional Toyota skid plate?

Thanks
Shawn
