Default Grille guard / bull bar

Alright guys. I needs y'all's opinion and help. I'm looking for a bull bar or grille guard. I'm not loaded with money so a road armor is out if the idea. I'm looking to spend maybe around 500$. I want something that looks good. Any ideas help. Thank you.

Whatever you do dont get a go industries. They are cheap chinese junk that have numerous install issues.

If your dead set on a brush guard, Id look at luverne. They make some nice stuff.

Arc rite welding down in del rio tex. Great customer service. They don't stick way out like the ranch hands. You can buy them from website at full price or ebay bid.

Think full price is $595. I bided on them for months until I finally got a hell of a win $265 I think. They build it and powder coat it after your buy it. They had a problem with powder coat and they called, rebuilt it, coated it, had it freighted over night from del rio to north east texas border.

Since your looking at bull bar or brush guards, superior protection is not one of your requirements.

I bought my previously-owned bull bar on Kijiji for $150. It was stainless steel until I sprayed it with rocker-guard undercoating. Beats spending $300-$500 on a brand new one.

Was the 265 including shipping?

Shipping was $100 I think. He did over night freight bc of the delay free of charge. If he didn't set it up for over night then that man in his flatbed truck is a CBA.
