There's someone on here that has a Blue truck with a really great looking custom front bumper/guard. It has new tow rings added to it. I'm not sure who it is, but hopefully they will post on this thread. I think the shop that made it is selling them.

There are a lot of grille guards out there, but if you want more than something that LOOKS like a grille guard, you might check out the type of guards that are police issue, such as Setina or Go Industries. They are real push guards. I have the Go Ind. "Quad".

Many guards look the part, but hide the fact that they are cheap and thin walled. But quality, buy once.

I am using the Go Rhino! 3293MB Complete Grille and Brush Guard and the tow hooks are still usable.

If you use a chain on your hooks, you will need to use a piece of rubber or something to protect the guard from damage.

There are more pictures of the Go Rhino guard here.

The poster states:

"The brush guard attaches to the frame where the tow hooks go, and contrary to what you've read, you can keep the tow hooks with this brush guard. It makes the install a bit awkward, but it's a minor inconvenience."

and

"If you don't want to keep the tow hooks, use the tab bolts that come with the kit. If you do want to keep the tow hooks, you have to use the factory tab bolts, because the ones that come with the brush guard aren't long enough."
