    I will probably receive a lot of "use the search function" but I already did that and came up with nothing. I went to my local dealership and asked about grille guards and they said they still don't have any info as far as manufacturers, prices and availability.

    So far, I like this Ranch Hand company and their grille guard for the 3rd gen Tacos. From what I've read, they are pricey ($1200 plus). Any of you guys sporting this grille guard yet? Any inputs? Thanks in advance

    How about a full metal front BUMPER.. that doesn't look like its going to protect against anything but a moose or a deer AND you have to hit it square on = unlikely and the moose is still coming thru the windshield, just sayin....

    Having hit a 150lb whitetail going about 30mph, that grill guard isn't going to do anything to save your truck. Metal bumpers or nothing.

    I have a question in a similar realm. Does anyone know if second generation brush guards will fit 3rd gens?

    That Ranch Hand co. do make a full metal front bumper version but it won't win a beauty contest. Darn, I really love the look of that grille guard. However, the chances of me off- roading? 4 wheeli' my 16 Taco is very slim to none. I wanted that so that I can mount PIAA huge lights on the front.
