Toughest grill guard

They're made out of aluminum, and weigh much less than what a similar bumper from Road Armor does. Their website has details about the weight.

I have the frontier extreme grillguard on my 2013 xlt. I previously had it on my 2010 fx4. goo grill guard. doesn't weigh a ton and very sturdy. really helped me when I had a girl pull out in front of me. did about 1700 bucks worth of damage including replacing the grill guard but the body shop said itd been closer to 5000 if I hadn't had it on there. might check it out.

Ok, as you all know I been trying to find a grill guard that would fit my truck with the extreme off road bushwacker flairs. So I just thought I take a chance on the Westin HDX Grill Guard. I am happy to say it works perfect. I want to thank everyone for the help here. Also i wanted to post a few pictures of it mounted on my truck. The install was very easy it took less then two hours to install. Here are a few pictures. Once again thanks for helping me out.
Sorry not the best pictures it was early this morning and in a shaded area

Has anyone hit a deer with any of these? I almost nailed one yesterday, and it really has me thinking about a guard. Guess people aren't hunting as much any more, never seen so many as the past couple years.

I haven't. But when I asked Arc Rite, he stated that several customers have come back to replace guards after hitting cows or horses with little to no damage to their trucks. After putting it on my truck, I would lean that direction also. Seems sturdier than the Ranch Hand and Tough Country guards that are on our work trucks. Not just decoration.

Does the HDX affect the headlight output at all? The vertical center pieces look like they may block headlight beams from lighting the road. I already have one ordered but just noticed this.
