Brush Guard
Can anyone tell me a good Brush Guard to put on a 2001 F250! Mine has one on it that was on it when i bought it and not to long after having it the center bar got loose and the bolt wouldn't tighten up and now the top bar won't tighten up so i figure it just a cheap one that they put on it! I like the GO Rhino one that has the step on the bottom but i wanted more opinion before buying a 656 dollar brush guard!

$656 for the Rhino? You need to shop around a bit.
If you're going to spend that kind of coin, spend a couple extra hundred dollars and get a Ranch Hand full front-end replacement. 10x the protection of a Rhino, and they look badass.

On my 01' F250, I had a WAAG brush guard that cost me about $450 at the time. You have to make sure that the center bars are mounted otherwise you will get that swaying (which also makes it seem cheap) But otherwise it was a nice bar but nothing special like those mentioned above. Personally, I would wait until I can afford one of those.

I bought a Smittybilt discontinued model and now it appears the same thing is sold as Go Rhino. No step on mine but the stainless is of good qaulity. If you want a brite one make sure it's stainless steel. Chrome won't last.
