Hello Everyone!!!

Welcome, YellowRoseBud

I'm in New Mexico and as you would probably guess, every other truck has some sort of grille guard or 'cow pusher' on it. When I lived in the Upper Pennensula of Michigan, they had a different kind of grille guard up there, a snow plow!!

Hello Everyone!!!

Here in south GA, about every other truck you see has some form of a grille guard--mostly because of deer and the occasional cow...I have one on the Bronco. One piece, quite strong, attaches to the frame instead of clamping to the bumper. I also really like the rubber strips on the front, they're great for push starting my other truck when it breaks down every other week....

Hello Everyone!!!

welcome yellow rose budd...i drove in some places like illinois and indiana and some of them trucks have grill gaurds on them for good looks and protection.... my self im looking for a good one that can handle a deer or something like that. i go up north in ontario and night driving can be tricky and have a grill guard can give me the much more protection i can get and not get stranded with a smashed rad or something

Hello Everyone!!!

hello everyone thanks for answering my post. well i guess everyone uses grill guard for different reasons. Now i don't understand why they would put them on cars. In texas you have to look for the trucks and not the low riders. I have a big truck and then i have my low rider and i like my big truck better.
