Man wouldn't it be nice if they made these in a hinge forward design, so you could pull a pin and fold it away for access/cleaning (like the they do on OTR Trucks).

Agreed! I have found it to be a PITA to wash behind the grill guard I have on my '01 F350. That would be a very nice addition...

We have Ranch Hand Grille Guards on several of our trucks, Lone Star Public Safety Equipment on FM1960 in Houston, Texas, sells them to us for around $460-480 I believe, regardless of the truck...

If I could get one for that price, I'd be all over it. Waiting it out, but should get one regardless before fall when the deer run faster.

Give them a call. They don't try to make a killing on product pricing, they usually make it up on the labor end, which we don't pay for because I do the installs myself..

Drilled a hole and used a box knife to cut the rectangle hole for the lower brace to go through, trimmed with the box knife until it was an even and clean square cut.

I purchased a Ranch Hand Legend grill guard for my Platinum F-250 on Amazon for $618.16 including shipping. Seller is "Retail Defined". Shipping was very fast. The camera and all sensors work perfectly with this grill guard.

Im probably going with these guys. Those bolt on guards look nice but wont do much if you smack a deer.
Elite Series | Thunderstruck Bumpers

Lots of options and they have a smooth look instead of the diamond plate.

So no issues with the front parking sensors with it installed?

Do they have a cutout for the front camera? If not, can you still see through the mesh?
