Any got a Brush Guard from, ebay, Hunter Truck Wholesale?

Can't beat his price, only $279 with free shipping. Anyone ever bought off there? What did you think of it? Did anyones truck sag from the front after putting on a brush guard? Heres a link to his website...

a couple people have them, they look similer to the westins and others. i didnt like them because they stick out quite far to avoid the grill when opening the hood. i doubt the truck will sag with just a brushguard. maybe with a full bumper replacement but not just a brushguard. if i were you i would stick with the good ol saying "you get what you pay for"

Well, I guess I'm not getting it. The last thing I want is a brush guard that sticks out to much.

Which one do you have and does it stick out to much? They wanted to sell me a ranch hand one for 429 today, it looks to big for my truck and ugly.

I was lucky enough to find a GSP (Manik) grille guard off ebay in 06 for $195 shipped. Nice guard. I sold it last year.

After a quick search I found no Manik brush guards for a 07 F-150. Let me try the search bottom.

I have teh Hunter staiinless steel bull bar and the side steps. They went on easy. I think the bull bar looks much better than the Westin. The side steps are sturdy, but they are a little small and the non-skid part is plastic. I have not had other nerf bars, so I do not know how they compare to others. However, I am going to have to replace them with something because my wife has trouble with her shoes slipping off sometimes.

These are not gold plated, but you cant beat the price. I bought mine off of ebay and then picked them up from their local distribution center in the Houston area.

I have one of their SS Brush guards on my 2001 Supercrew and I have no complaints. The hood opens without a problem, it doesn't stick out too far, it is great to climb/stand on when working under the hood, is really SS and does not rust, was an excellent price and super easy to install. I shopped ALL the competition and IMO the Hunter product is the very best value around.

The generic brush guard from ebay is pretty sweet. A buddy of mine went into the airforce and his recruiter had one on his 06F150, it was a darned nice looking and felt really solid. He claimed his wife hit 2 deer with it and it is in great shape still, can't say thats true, but with what he claims and the guards structural integrity, I'm probably buying one!

Thanks for all your feed back guys. I went to the local shop and was able to get a Big Country brush guard for $344 installed so I went with that. Check out the sig for the pic.

I'm in the market for a grill guard and I really like the way it looks on your silver F-150 ddgarcia05. I noticed that your from the valley. My question was which accessory shop did you purchase your grill from? Thanks...
