Thanks ~Gage~

No grille guard on my Expedition but I do have one on my Tundra.

If you want something strong as all get out, get the Ranch Hand. I've seen what kind of damage they can take and it's a lot. My buddy has one on his '06 Tundra that got hit at a terrible angle by an Xterra with a Westin going 40 mph. Totalled the Westin but only did 8K to the Tundra. I'm going to try and get those pics from the guy b/c I want to see them again.

That gen F150 looks really good with a Ranch Hand. I wouldn't be surprised if the Expedition looked just as good.

Thumbs up

I have the 3000 series GoRhino grille guard on my 2002 Expedition XLT Sport. It also has the wrap-around headlight guards. I've had it on for about 3 years now and love how it looks. Really complements the styling of the Expy. I also mounted a pair of PIAA long-range driving lights to the cross bar, which help out tremendously on those dark roads at night. All I needed was a set of hand tools to install it. It took me about an hour, if I remember correctly. No cutting or drilling required - bolts onto the frame and uses existing bolt locations and holes. I highly recommend the GoRhinos. Their fit and finish is excellent and the installation instructions are very nice, with pictures and detailed directions.

Thanks man, I 'ppreciate it. I'm sure the OP does too. (I no longer have my Expys but still like to be involved with them).

Hmmm, tried posting the pictures I took of my grille guard, but seems I'm not allowed to post attachments. Any way around this or do I need permission from the forum moderators?

Expy and Gage, try going to photobucket.com

It's simple as can be and the links are available anywhere. Then you just copy and paste the image link and it'll pop up. That's how/where I host all my pictures.

I still cannot post any attachments, so added the pic of my Expy to my signature. I'd like it bigger to show the GoRhino better, but this is about the best I can do for now. Hope it helps.
