I'm looking at a Sportsman KD and a Manik guards for my '04 Scab. Does anyone recommend one over the other or anyother guard all together? Help me out.

 

I had a "big Country" euro guard on my '04 Fx4. I really liked it and it had a spot for lights.

what i just put on mine. kind of a brush guard. i just wanted to mount aux. lights so that is why i opted for it.

 

Black04lariat;
What brand and how much $? I like the look!

 

snowdog -
fabtech desert runner $195 + $30 shipping
paint was about $60 (did it myself...and it matches the trim)
the lights were about $70

 

I have the westin for my 07, color matched to my truck with 4 hella 500s on it. I love it.

I will never be without one for sure.

 

Thanks for the input fellas. I like your guard Black04lariat, but I'm leaning more toward the style Firemut30 has. I really want something to protect the headlamps as well as the grille. WAY TOO MANY DEER AROUND HERE.

I also have a Westin on my truck. Do you have any problem with it shaking when doing over bumps? I had a Manik on my 2002 and it was rock solid, never moved.

With the Westin it seems to shake, almost like the upper support brackets cause the whole unit to "roll" with the flex in the truck over the bump.

All the bolts are tightened down.

Any thoughts???

Thanks...

I have the Ranch Hand on mine and have been very happy with it. It is very rugged, and has served its purpose very well for me. Pics in gallery.
