Looking for brush guard.
So I have an 04 F-150 FX4, and im looking for a brush guard to add to it. Not looking to buy a new one and hoping to stay under $200 (including shipping) or if your close enough (i live in vermont) then i will pick it up. I dont care if its painted or chrome or the condition of the paint or whole guard in general. My family owns a metal shop and we can fix/re-paint anything. I could just build one on my own, but figured it would be worth my while to see if anyone here had one for sale...... thanks-

I only use Ranch Hand brush guards. I've never found a used one. I think I paid $480 or so for mine installed. It has already saved me several $k's in repairs from folks cutting me off and stuff flying up from the road.
Good luck finding one.

The only damage to was a scratch on the edge of the guard and it had pushed the guard sideways enough to pop off the head of a nut. That's it.

Just wondering ... why not get off in the grass?
Nice guard, seems it would have paid for itself.

We only paused. We then drove up a bit and pulled into a parking lot. This isn't a major traffic area, so i wasn't too concerned. Plus, I wanted the officer to see the situation first hand. He ended up writing her a ticket for improper lane change.
Paid for itself a couple of times. I've had this happen a total of 3 times. They always say " I didn't see you". I guess I need a bigger truck.
Funny how this never happened in my previous white truck. I know what color not to buy next time.

Seems I've seen statistics showing that safety wise, white is the most conspicuous color followed by red. Greys and shades of grey are less conspicuous.
I probably will look at a guard soon, seems deer strikes are up.
