Frontier Gear Xtreme Grille Guard

Anybody seen one of these grill guards or familiar with these guys? I like the looks of it.

Any good?

I have the bumper from them, very well made. Been hit twice with no issues. Someone on here (6.7) also has one.

Honest opinion? I think it looks like an afterthought.

I think the front of my Ford looks great and have not seen any of these after market bumbers that were an improvement on the Ford design.

It's not so much a bumper I'm interested in. I want something like a the N-Fab prerunner stye bar for mounting lights.

However the N-Fab bar's tubing is a bit too small for my tastes. From the photos (and I haven't seen one in person) I'd like at least the main tubes (along the bumper and over the grille) to be about a half an inch bigger in diameter. It's just seems to 'dainty' for a big truck like an F350.

This one seemed close to the same stye and used "stouter" tubing. However I'm not sure about the vertical bumper guards that extend below the bumper.

If anyone has another style that they like, I'm open to suggestions.

Not wood. My brain gears are old, slipping and getting hot.

Thanks a bunch for that link, BTW.

I am looking for something more substantial to protect from the deer that like to jump out in front of me. Any ideas?

I really like the herd aero lt bumper but they are so expensive.

Probably need to make sure your headlights are aimed right with that bumper. Otherwise the reflection is likely to damage your retinas.

Petty shiny.
