Alright. This is something I think everyone should know. Especially the ones who trash grill guards all the time saying "they cause more damage in a minor accident"

A buddy of mine (Xterra owner also) has the same grill guard on his truck that I do. Well on the interstate someone was cutting him off but didnt pull all the way in front of him....Ended up hitting his front end. Well the Grill guard tore through part of the passenger door, and all through the engine compartment. And the grill guard is just warped and scratched now.....no MAJOR damage to the X other than scratches where the guard rubbed.
