Im using a T3 grille guard and im happy with it. i have hit a couple deer with it and not even a scratch. they ship all over the country too.

This is the toughest guard out there, Diamond B. they use square tubing over the usual round tubing. It is a little bit more money but usually worth it if you have to worry about hogs and deer all the time and you dont want a full front end replacement bumper.

Ranchhand makes a very good product but they are a bit overpriced for what you get though.

Here is another choice, Trail boss.

Frontier truck accessories.

Lone star truck accessories

just to name a few..

I have been wanting to upgrade to a full front end replacement like i had on my other truck but just havent felt like spending 750 bucks on one when my guard is doing its job.

I have JCWhitney's Garage pro grill guard. It is a full guard that looks great, and is tough. Mine is powder coated black. You can get the black one for $260.99 and the stainless steel one for $470.99.

That's the style I wish I had. I love that look, and especially the front receiver hitch.

Can't find anything like that here in Illinois, and I don't want to pay a fortune for shipping.

My mother in-law lives in Houston, next time we visit, maybe we'll drive instead of fly. I don't think they would let me carry one of those on the plane!
