Default Ranch hand grill saved my radiator and my life today

Driving on a 2 lane freeway, truck in front of me ran over a long 2x4, split it in 1/2, shot it across to the tow truck next to him, bounce right towards my front end. If it weren't for the well made heavy duty grill, I am sure the front radiator and plastic grill will be a goner, or even me... one of those "as seen on tv" accident.. driver killed by flying 2x4.

So, phew... +1 for the grill.

Oh, grill did not had a scratch, except for a small piece of wood left on it.

I hit an Antelope (on the way to hunting Antelope) back in September and had to swerve around to avoid having the little sucker go strait through my front end. I drove away with a couple dents on the lower rear driver's side door and a surface scratch all the way across... he limped away with a broken right rear leg.

The moral of this story is I really really want to put on a Ranch Hand Legend Grill Guard, but then my truck won't fit in my garage. I'm not happy about it!

Glad the guard did it's job!

I just told my wife, my investment just paid off.

I might not be pushing cows around in the pasture, but in TX, I will be blocking road debris
