And you want a brushguard WHY, exactly? Yeah, they look cool. They make your truck LOOK like it's tough. But the truth is, they do more damage than they prevent. If you were to hit anything substantial, the brushguards get pushed back into the grill, hood, headlights, fenders, etc. Without them, the only parts to get damaged are the parts that acutally get hit.

Say for example, you hit a deer with your right front fender. Without a brushguard, you'll likely see the fender and headlight. Maybe the hood and bumper. With a brushguard, you'd see those and definately the hood, most likely the grill too and possibly the other headlight too. It would depend on how the thing folded back.

The fact is, they will crumble against what they are "supposed" to be protecting. They are only good for very minor bumps (i.e., grocery carts). If you want REAL protection, check out ARB, Schrock, etc., put down your money on something good and get a REAL bumper that DOES protect things. I've known guys that have hit a deer at 60mph with these and the deer is mush. The truck, no damage at all!

Just my .02 worth. Do a SEARCH and you'll find these things are BAD NEWS!
