The Go Industries' Rancher grille guard is a very rugged one piece unit that is fully welded and is made of 2" tubular steel. Take a look...












As you can see I still have my tow hooks. This guard is held in place with eight 1 half inch bolts along with four 1/4 inch steel plates. The built in step is a real plus for engine access.
