Any recommendations on a brush guard for a 2010 F150 SCrew? Thinking about a stainless guard to prevent the rust you see on many steel ones. Open to suggestions on styles and makes.

 

Ranch Hand is by far the best I've ever had. I don't think they offer stainless, but they use a pretty good powder coating that doesn't allow for rust unless scuffed. I've also seen guys have them Line-xed then clear coated so the line-x doesn't sun rot. Looked good. I've also had pretty good luck with frontier products, but they are a Ranch Hand brand so I'm told. Currently I have a Go Rhino push bar on my 2010. I like the look and it's fairly robust, but it was a PITA to install and I can see I will have to strip and repaint it soon. Then again, it rains A LOT here, too.

 

Ranch hand is by far the best.

 

i can agree with the install being a little bit of a pain in the butt also. still happy mine though.

 

Thanks guys. I will go out this weekend and take a look. I think the nearest Ranch Hand dealer is about 35 miles away. Good Saturday trip.

 

Let us know how you make out this weekend.

 

I'll say Cattleman HD is number one and Ranch Hand is number two. Cattelman's welds and powdercoat are superior to Ranch Hand. I'm not saying RH is bad, RH is very good, but Cattleman is better.

 

The Cattleman stuff looks nice - I've never seen it before. I have a Ranch Hand front end replacement on my 09 and have been very pleased with it. The epoxy paint does need a good coat of wax every now and then, or it will eventually start looking "flat" (Texas sun is hell on most anything).

We also have a Ranch Hand dealer in town who gives local firefighters a break, so that helps.
