Default Brush guard or bull bar? Pics please!

I just don't know I'm in the middle someone please give me their opinions. I'm leaning to brushgaurd bc I could use it around here on the farm, but.... There is that voice in the back of my mind saying save a few hundred bucks and get a bull bar.

To me, brush guards just don't blend well on daily drivers. There are some that I like, but most look awkward to me.

I bought a Westin bullbar a while back for my truck and really like it a lot. I believe there are a couple of pictures of it on my profile page; although, they aren't very good pictures. It looks bulkier than what it really is. It blends really well with the truck in person.

I've looked at westin bull bars and brush guards and to be honest I kinda like the chrome brush guards. I just don't know about $600 is enough to kinda like.

Yeah, that's a lot of money. I got my bullbar for under 300. If I was doing something with my truck that I could use a bullbar for, believe me, I'd have on in a heartbeat; I just don't like the thought of paying so much for something that I won't put to use.

I really like the Westin bull bars. I'm actually planing on getting one once I have the cash.

I'd kinda like to have a brushguard since I live in Mississippi with all the deer, so if I do happen to hit one,ill be buying a $600 worth of repair instead of a new front end.

I'm having this same debate with myself. I'm leaning toward the bull bar also but a brushguard would be nice for those times I take a ride through the woods and fields.
