As far as visual appeal goes, grille guards really seem to do it for me. As far as I'm concerned, there is very little that will make a truck look more rugged and tough. Aesthetics aside, you have to love the protection a quality grille guard will provide. Currently, I'm rocking some Westin bull bars on my front end, but I'm thinking of making the move to the grille guard.

Thank you. Do you know how bad are the 360 camera vews affected?

Also, any issues or non compatibility with the crash avoidance systems and the adaptive cruise control?

Thanks!!!

I think it's that big *** chrome grill that uglied the truck.
At least the guard tones down the gold tooth bling look.

Ranchhand released their grille guard a week or so ago. I emailed their customer service and they are working on the front and back full bumper replacements.

Westin estimates that it will cut-off about 30-40% of the vision in the front (grille emblem) camera.

For vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control, the grille guard will inhibit use of the feature. (the module is hidden behind the plastic pod on the driver side of the front bumper)

Thanks for this info...I have a email out Westin with these same questions. Never got a response.
