    Need suggestions for a brush guard for a 2018 Tacoma Dual Cab with built in forward radar. Looking for 1 that won't mess with that forward looking radar.
    Live in rural area, deer claimed 20+ vehicles in our area last year alone.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Full replacement bumper, or you're just looking to do more damage in the event of an impact.

    Here we go again with the extra damage can you prove it with every hit of a dear. Because I have hit a dear with a previous truck with some guard and did not have more damage. It took most of the impact20180805_140244.jpg

    It really just depends on the speed as well as the quality of the guard. For higher speed crashes, or in this case hitting a deer at higher speeds, a guard is more likely caus damage across the entire truck, rather than just the spot that the deer would've hit. They can both help and hurt, just like a full bumper.

    A replacement bumper will lay the dear down but depending on speed will only help with the original bumper not getting damaged because the steel one is now there.but won t help with good or grill or up high. Nothing is going to guaranty no damage from a large animallike that
