I installed a Manik grille guard on my SuperCrew yesterday. It's rock solid and looks great. Thanks everyone for all of the advice I got in my Manik Grill Guard questions thread.

I'm glad thing's worked out good.
I'm debating in a black manik grill/brush guard or a westin chrome bull bumper guard coming out in april.I know they are 2 different type of guard's but they both look great I think.It just seam's that the bumper guard does'nt look so big & over bearing & still look's tough though.Go to the westin web site & let me know what you think of the bull bar.
Did you put light's on it yet? If so what kind?
What made you finally decide on the manik?
Was it just the post's from the board's?

SHOW ME SOME PICTURE'S IF YOU CAN.

FALLSCREW,
I looked at the Bull Bumper on the Westin page, it looks sharp. I like the Manik because of the way it is made to the contour of the front of the truck, and it has that bad *** Mad Max look. I made my decision largely due to the information I found on this site. There are several guards that look like the Manik but most agree it is the best built. I have not added any lights yet, but that may be next. I'll try to get some pictures posted soon.

Thank's for the input.I'll wait to see pic's.
Did you go with black or chrome ?

 

Chip:

Concerning diving; can you refill tanks at your outfit? And can you rent BC's and tanks? Maybe wanting to schedule a trip in the near future.

I think this one might be more the "mad-max" look you mentioned....



Finally got some of mine.... It's the 1 piece polished stainless with a pair of 150 Watt Stainless KCs on it...
