I've been thinking about getting one. Can't really decide on which brand I like. Thoughts anyone?

I've got the Ingot Silver, with the chrome package. I'd like to get a black powdercoated one, but I don't want it to stick out like a sore thumb. What do you guys think?

Anyone with pictures?

 

i always like ranch hand

 

yeah that's at the top of the list, any takes on Westin or Aries?

 

I have an Aries Brush Guard on my 08. The thing is pretty durable. I've used it a few times to push vehicles and it also saved my bumper from a ding when somebody pulled up so far that they actually had their car resting against it. I have also used it as a place to hook my tow straps after looping them through the tow hooks.

My only complaint about it is that it probably isn't as stable as most would like. It might just be because of the way it attaches to the truck but if I look down the hood while I'm driving I can see it shake a small amount whenever I hit bumps.

 

Here is my 2010 FX4 with ranch hand. Love this thing!

 

I've got a Trail FX, it's great!





huh...the pics aren't showing up on my browser...hope they are in yours (sometimes a problem on this site...) if you can't see the pics, here's a link to my album. Note that the grille guard swings forwards and backwards, so some pics are of it "closed" and others "open".

I am going Ranch Hand or Cattleman. Frontier bars are a little trendy for my taste.

 

ductit: sweet truck, I like the guard.

I've seen Westin guards and they look real nice and seem to have good construction to them. They come in stainless ?? and chrome. A buddy of mine had one and it looked great for years.

 

Where did you get your trail fx
