Default Show me your brush guard!

I'm considering getting a brush guard so would you please post a pic of your brush guard installed on your truck. I'm looking for a black one not chrome. Also please tell me who makes you guard and where it can be purchased please.

Ranch Hand bumpers.
They are a little big and heavy for my taste, but the previous owner welded them on.
Im not going to mess with taking them off.....

I don't want to replace the bumper I just want a brush guard. My truck is a sport model if that matters


How strong is a brush guard if its just bolted on? I assume pretty strong since you can bolt a winch on one and use it but could I attach a tow strap/chain to it to pull someone out or be pulled out with it? I have never even looked at one up close to see how they are installed. I'm just getting into the offroad seen

A full replacement bumper that is welded on would be the best bet for what you want to do.
You can do that, but don't do it often. Some bad things might happen.
I know the Ranch Hand stuff is pretty stout, hell, I can hang on the wings of it and the damn things won't bend.

Your call.

I'm with you on that, I just killed the paint on my bumber moving some cars around.

I had a jag and a mustang with flat tires I needed to get in my garage. So I used my truck like a truck and pushed the cars it, thought some carpet would protect the paint, but it scratched it worse. I beat my truck up, so'im not that worried about the paint, but I would like to have at least the pushers that cop cars have, if not a full brush guard.

I'm looking at this one "designed for the Ram Sport".... Too bad no pics of it on a Ram...

That's a good looking brush guard and $250 its pretty cheap. If you order one soon let me know how it turns out. I wonder how strong it is.
