Which grille guard?

Hi FTE,

I have been wanting to put a grille guard/push bar assembly on my truck. Can some one give me the name of one that DOES NOT require the removal of the tow hooks AND that does not block the factory fog lights. Thanks

Mike

Check out these grill guards. Except they are not really "push bars".

This is the only grill guard I've considered. But, no, I haven't bought one yet. Maybe soon though. I think they are the best looking grill guards that I've seen - and will never rust.

I have been happy with the Westin I've got, and it didn't require moving anything.

Smittybuilt and GO rhino make very good grill gaurds, They don't block the fog lights but the do require you to take the tow hooks off and mount the grill gaurd and then replace the tow hooks.

The grille gaurds use the tow hooks bolts as a mounting point So I wasn't sure if you meant that you did not want to remove the tow hooks at all or you wanted to make sure that you still keep the tow hooks after the installation

everything that I have seen covers the factory fogs. I would like one smaller that would look good on a 2X4

Thanks for the replies guys! Yeah, I don't mind taking the tow hooks off, but definitely want them to be able to be put back on. The ranchand guards look cool, but I am looking for black ( to go with the Gold/Black truck).

Take care,
Mike
