Front bumper/grille guard

Anyone know of any good/beefy grille guards? Preferably with a winch mount. Not the little show chrome pansy ones. Theres not really a big selection out there. Any info appreciated.

If you want a real functional brush guard then you should talk to the guys at a local welding shop. a friend of mine had a huge brush guard made for his truck. I think it cost him like 600bucks.

You guys gotta step up to the best around. Ranch Hand! I know I got it on a Tundra, but it's extremely functional.

Some chick clipped my truck and didn't do any damage to mine. I pushed a car over a curb (anybody know how much force that is?) with no damage either.

Here are some pics. It's about $600 installed.







This thing is a *****in' tank. I can't see why you couldn't mount a winch on there. If you can mount one to a Warn Trans4mer (which probably has half the rigidity of the RH), then you can prolly find someone to mount a winch mount up for ya.

Oh yeah, and it weighs 112 lbs so it's pretty beefy. It didn't drop my front end much, if at all.
