Where's the cheapest place to get a good black brush guard that keeps the tow hooks? Post a pic if you have one. Thanks!

 

4 wheel parts has a gsp for around $360 and you keep the tow hooks.

 

WAAG guards keep the hooks- price is around 400-450

 

He's the GSP from 4 Wheel Parts.

 

Like that one....Nice

 

Thanks guys! Those look good. I've heard the Ranch Hand is the only one that will really protect your frontend. Is this true?

 

BTW I fell into a brand new black gsp grille guard off ebay for $195. Got lucky. My dad bought it for me as a Christmas present.

 

Also, any ideas how far this thing is going to stick out in front of the truck? Not much more room length wise in the garage!

 

??????

 

going to add probably somewhere around 6 to 8 inches tops.

 

Pat, is there anywhere around here that has some good prices? I called a place in Athens and Lawrenceville and both were HIGH!

 

who did you call? down at the mall of GA, by the race track and quicktrip there is a place, STS Off-Road.

Athens- Performance Off Road Center (did my truck)
4wheelparts? in marietta or norcross
ummmm,line-x store on spout springs road has alot of truck accessories.

about all i can think of right now.

 

RANCHHAND PROVIDES MAXIMUM PROTECTION!



AND LOOKS GOOD!!

 

I agree, if you are going to go this route...get the Ranchhand. I have the GSP and it is coming off this weekend. Yeah it looks good, but I don't like the design. Yes, you get to keep the tow hooks, however you also have to loosen the thing and pull it forward for access to the engine. You do that by swinging down two (I guess lockbolts?) which eases the tension on the grill. Then you pull it forward away from the front end. I've noticed on mine that over time it gets loose and moves considerably while driving and I have had it on there for over 3 years now. There are also 2 bands that wrap around the lower front bumper..this thing rubs the heck out of it. I haven't looked, but I'm pretty sure there will be some paint damage to that area.

Don't get me wrong, it works, hit a couple mule deer, coyotes and a few brangus that needed a push and and it did the job....I just think there are better alternatives. Whatever you get...let us know.

 

Thanks guys! Pat, it was Trucks and Things in Lawerenceville that I called and I did call 4wheel parts too. I'll see if I can find out some stuff from those. I'd like the most protection I can get. I've been looking at the Ranch Hand, Frontier, and Go Industries Rancher. All seem to be pretty tough but who knows.
