Grille guard help

I was thinking about putting a grille guard on my truck and I have down to two different models (still open to other suggestions). The one I am leaning towards is http://westinautomotive.com/westin/viewproduct.jsp?prod=Sportsman+Winch+Mount+Grille+Guard&id=29&vehicleId=&year=2013&make=TOYOTA&model=Tacoma&submodel=&cabstyle=&guid=855669eb-7438-aec0-9727-4780c1a53674

the second one i was looking at is http://westinautomotive.com/westin/viewproduct.jsp?prod=Sportsman+Grille+Guard&id=30&vehicleId=&year=2013&make=TOYOTA&model=Tacoma&submodel=&cabstyle=&guid=0d9c6da3-c38e-995f-ac85-6c284342e82a

the only reason i would go with the second is its cheaper. if anyone can tell me what they think of westin products or if they other grille guards they like let me know. thanks for reading!

 

I have this one but in black

Westin makes a great product.

Here is before and after.

 

this is before westin winch mount

 

Thanks for the advice I think I will go with the more expensive one. also how was installation? some people say its really easy others say it was rough.. thanks again!

 

The shop I manage sells westin products. They are a good company, and their products are all well made

 

the grill guard was easy the winch mount was a bit of a pain.

 

how long did it take?

 

thanks for the tip i think im gonna stick with westin

 

I love all the fellow Jersey people here. Fire, I love that setup and was looking to do the same but did all that weight on the front end cause any problems with your front end suspension or any sag?

 

There might a lil sag. Not much. Rides great with the billies and eibach coils. Between winch,mount and grill guard its aroun 120lbs

 

how long does the black ones stay rust free? I had one on my jeep years ago and it lasted about 4 years before it started to rust. I know the SS ones have a lifetime warranty and I think the black powder coated have a 5 year warranty.

 

I'm thinking about getting the same mount. Can you tell me how far it sticks out ? Do you have side profile pics?

 

Can anyone help me out and let me know if a 2008 grille guard will fit on a 2016 Tacoma? Need an answer before I drive 3 hours to buy this

 

Ouch! 2008 grille guard will fit on a 2016 Tacoma?
Your 2" wider than our trucks.
You will have to consider that and if the frame is wider.
I don't have the answer you seek...

 

It doesn’t have a winch mount but check out ranch hand.. I have one on my 2014 and it’s held up well
