    Tons of people have it. It depends on what you need it for. If you actually want protection from hitting something large like another vehicle (on accident of course :rolleyes: ) or large animal or something I'd get some legit armor off here. If you just want a light brush guard go for it.

    I had that same grill on my old taco. It fit real nice. Hugged the front end good but it was a pain to clean the headlights. It was so close to the front end that I could barely get my hands behind it to clean the bugs off. I bought it from Amazon for 270 bucks.

    Looks like it would protect the grill somewhat and headlights but does nothing for the ends of the bumper. IMO, save up for something more effective like plate bumper with center hoop and light hoops on both sides if that is what you want/need.

    True. I don't do any heavy duty wheeling where I need much protection, so it's probably a better option than dropping close to a grand on something much heavier

    This is why I just did the skid and the light bar. A little extra for underneath and just something besides plastic for directly up front. Just depends on what the truck will be used for mainly and/or what you want to throw coin at.
