All Manik, the only way to go for a F150. They are tough and dependable, just like your F150.

Not only does Manik look good, but it protects your truck really well!

When I first got mt truck I was working in NYC and I guess I wasnt used to the traffic/whiplash from looking at beutiful girls. I rearended 4 taxicabs! NO JOKE! Not real bad collisons, but on two cabs I flatened their rear bumpers flush, (This was before I put on the lift) had to be at least $500 in damage. My truck? No damage to anything except for having to bend the rubber lined part of my Manik back to shape with vise-grips! Manik NYC tested!

P.S. If you get into an accident with a NY cab, just get out of your car and hold your neck and they go away.

Hey Mudder, your grill guard is woah! I hadn't seen any like that. Maybe I wasn't really shopping around for one up until now. I like the way it curves out in the center grill area and not go straight up like all the others I have seen. How much would a chrome one go for?

Mudder,

Does the manik bolt to existing holes in the frame or do you have to drill?

It bolts on to the existing holes.

F150Y2K,

I think a chrome one would go for about $400 or so.

No sir, only time I ever had to remove the tow hooks is when I mounted my winch. It's a pretty simple install, just bolt it right on.
