Default Grille Guards

Has anyone installed any grille guards or have any pictures of different ones on the 2010s?

I just installed a Ranch Hand Grille guard. I have had them on my last 2 trucks and they are strong. Some people don't like the looks but I think they are awesome. Check ranchhand.com. New these go for about 500-600. I bought mine on craigslist for $120. It was a steal of a price. They usually got for about 300-400 on craigslist. I don't have a pic of it with my truck yet but here is one from the website.

You mentioned that you had the Ranch Hand Grill Guard on your last two trucks. In that time, did you happen to have any Deer encounters? And if so, did this grill guard with stand the deer impact? Any damage to the grill guard or truck?

Here's the different ones I've found online:

www.ranchhand.com

www.frontier-gear.com

www.toughcountry.com

www.bigcountryauto.com

www.goindustries.com

In my opinion, the Tough Country one looks best, but is pretty durn expensive. Frontier Gear and Big Country are pretty similar. When I get the cash together, I'll probably go with Frontier Gear.

Never and deer but a few coyotes and and birds. I rear ended somebody once at about 15 mph and it held up great. They arent impossible to destroy though. Here is a pic of my friends F350 that hit a 3500# bull. He walked away just a little shook up but is fine.

That Ranch Hand Grille Guard is less attractive than I'm lookin for, but I'd say it's proven itself on strength!
