Frontier and Trailboss are just about the same, I like the look better than the ranch hands myself. They come with mesh for the grille that I cut off of mine.

GSP makes a good guard. It's the same grille guard as a Manik.

As soon as my Ranchhand with euro lightbars (option) gets here, I'll get some pics of it. Ordered it back in December so I don't know when it'll show.

If you don't like the brush guard you can try www.aztrucks.com
They have some without the brush guards.

Sounds like another case of some 'tard' not putting something on right. It bolts on, if it's about to fall off, tighten the bolts.

i have a WAAG 1-piece guard- it is mounted solid at the bottom and at the middle- so it is functional (not just appearance)
+tow hooks remain

Same with the trailboss, it has 4 bolts at the bottom and 2 in the middle, it's heavy guage and all welded. You could smoke a deer with this thing.

GSP is fully functional as well. Plus you keep tow hooks, or like on mine I added them since my truck didn't come with any.
