Brush Guard suggestion
I've been looking around for a brush guard that allows you to retain your factory tow hooks. I found this one and was wondering if anyone has trie, used, or knows anyone with this one. Seems to be reasonably priced and looks good.

This is the first time I had ever heard of this manufacturer. I always liked Westin. But I do not know if you can retain the front tow hooks. If you go to Summit racing's website and type in Westin it will provide you with all of the information. Here is Westins website: westinautomotive.com give them a call and see what the specifications are. Hope this helps.

Part number 40-1395 2004-2005 1 Piece Black (which is what i have pictured here)
Part number 40-2015 2006-2008 1 Piece Black
I have used my tow hooks a few times kinda a tight fit but i was able to use them well
Also if you notice that one on ebay DOESNT have the bar right below the front lic plate like mine has..

Heres one on ebay and with shipping its like $10 more then i paid and thats shipped to your door. Just a heads up when it comes this box is HUGE... took up my whole box when i picked it up.

If you want somethin' tough, check out the Ranch Hand
I have one on my truck and it took a chick railing her truck against mine without bending the light bars. I also pushed a 4000 lb vehicle over a curb with it - not bad.
Here's what happens when you meet a 150 lb deer at 60 mph.
My buddy took some pics of what one looks like when you hit a tree/pole too. Dunno how fast he was going.
