Its a top gun grill guard. Pics are in main album too....

Would it be possible to mount a winch with the brackets that are to the left and right of my license plate? You can see them in the second picture..

Can't wait to see... Did you do the install? How much does it weigh? Finally, How much did it cost?

Bought if for $250 from a guy in Tyler. It weighs about 130lbs. and yeah i did the install in a couple of hours with 2 buddies of mine. Pictures are in my main album

That's a GREAT price... It looks sharp. The only concern is that it appears that you had to remove your tow hooks. Otherwise, good protection.

yeah unfortunatley i did have to remove my tow hooks but its worth it

i saw a truck yesterday with a guard just like that he ran into the back of a toyota 4runner the front of the guys truck was just fine. the 4runner not so lucky the whole back end was mashed in lol

i would imagine so because this a pretty beastly guard! it definently gives me some protection

That looks like (from the pics, haven't seen one in person) it interferes with headlight output and completely blocks the turn signals. Has to be a law violation, even for Texas.

the headlight output is exactly the same.but ofcourse i cant see if my turn signals are blocked out.

I have the Go Rhino! Mine is all smashed up now. But my truck is fine. I'm going to order another Go Rhino! The proof is in the truck being blemish free.

I don't think your grill guard will be strong enough to mount a winch on. Most of those holes are made for lights. In order to mount a winch, you need something that was specifically made for winches. Check out http://www.goindustries.com/

I think it looks pretty good. I would take it to a pro offroad shop, usually they can fab something up... so they could probably figure a way to mount a winch. If nothing else, you could bolt on a front reciever hitch and do some cutting on your grill guard and mount the winch thru that.
