Wink Grill Guard and prices ....

I recently priced a Trail Boss Grill guard for my truck and was amazed at the price. Last year my son bought one for his truck '03, for $200 less than they priced mine. They said it was the cost of steel but I think it's they want to steal. Has the cost risen that much in a year or are they just greedy ????

The price of stel has gone up a lot, I wouldn't be surprised if almost 200 bucks for as much steel as the bumper uses.

RobertJohn - I just bought a grill guard from my local RhinoLinings dealer and it was pretty hefty for the price. I bought it because it's pretty rugged and still let's me keep the tow hooks in front. I also had it Rhino-lined when I did the pickup bed. With UV protector on it should stay brand new looking for a long time unless I hit one of those deer in South Texas.
