Which Brush Guard?

Hey I am looking into getting a brush guard and wanted to see pics and get any recommendations that anyone has to show. I have a black 08 double cab taco and am looking for a black brush guard. thanks!

 

Whatever you do, make sure your brush guard is NBFR rated. That way you know that is has been National Big Foot Rated in the event you should come across one of these son of a flea-bag crotch-cricket infested sasquatches when your 4wheeling your way to the mall.

 

I don't have one...yet...but I like the warn trans4mer.

 

i didnt find any brush guards i liked but found this bull bar from hunter4x4.

 

thanks for the input rngrchad ill make sure of it

 

I've seen a couple of trucks on here with the Aries brushguard. I think they look badass! Here's a link to a discussion with some good pics in it:

Don't waste your money on some cheap light aluminum junk, unles you just want it for looks. If you really want one, I would recommend Ranch Hand. I have one on my Tahoe and they are solid! Wouldn't go with any other brand, far as brush guards. Besides that, I would consider a bumper replacement such as ARB or other brands. I think thats what I am going to do in the future.

Not the prettiest.

 

Hmm not so sure about the Ranch hand, Im all for quality but that is just ugly. Anyone have pics of a black 05+ with a black brush guard?

Those light bars look nice, thanks. I am more interested in the full brush guard though as I like the look of them.

 

This is a Westin Sportsman 1 Piece Grille Guard easy to install.

 

Thanks Dell, which brand is that and how do you like it? Ive been reading great reviews about the aries, and that the westin is overpriced..

 

I agree, the Ranch Hand for the Tacoma is not that pretty but for quality, you can't beat it. They use solid steel rather than that cheap aluminum crap.

 

I have the Westin one piece. It hits the head lights when you hit a good bump. It is installed properly (FYI). I plan on buying an ARB and losing the Westin when I have some extra cash.

The Westin does what its supposed to, it seems flemsy though. I bent the bottom tube a little the other day, I think it is made from welded beer cans.

 

brush guards are fugly. period.

 

that ranchhand is serious stuff

 

had these on my ford diesels by far the best grill guard you can get, you pay for it but theyre good. when im in texas i always talk to my buddies in va see if anyone needs one and haul them up in my flatbed

 

Here is mine. The Westin is for on-road trucks. It flops around off-road. I would not recommend it.

 

40204ever is yours a westin or what brand do you have?

nevermind just saw the previous post, thanks
