Happen to have a link or model number or anything for that? I don't see any brush guards on the Rough Country website and that thing looks killer.

Ok, so I was wrong, I have a big country auto pull-pro winch bumper (www.bigcountryauto.com) not a rough country. It has been rock solid for me.

Okay, this is way too funny.

The winch bumper I had been looking at was a Go Rhino 23289, but hadn't found any decent pictures of that bumper actually on an 04-08. When I went to the Big Country website, it looked oddly similar to the Go Rhino website. Sure enough, when I pull up the install instructions for the Pull-Pro, they are identical to the Go Rhino and both have the same part number!

So, many thanks for the pics and further info! That certainly confirms which brush guard I want.

That's funny. I can tell you that it's pretty tough. I pulled out a 1 ton Dodge dually with a 16 foot trailer loaded with produce, pulled myself out a few times, a few others, and have used it to winch up quite a few shooting houses. Still solid

well i didnt order the ranch style cuz when i went to order it the guy had the brush guards but no brackets to put it on so i just ordered this one and for $250 shipped it might not be as tough as ranch style but it is very strong and looks great for the money...

I love my ranch hand. Some crazy driver pulled out in front me, and I was doing around 40 MPH and t-boned the guy. Totaled his little car, and there wasn't a scratch on the truck nor the brush gaurd. I promise you it WILL be the best investment you would have made in your truck! Hope this helps!!
