Lightbulb Any Hunter Brush Guard Experience?

I think the title pretty much says it! I am looking into putting a brush guard on my truck, especially now that I almost ripped off my bug shield twice this hunting season!

Any way the online searching I have done came about one brush guard I am really interested in. It is made by Hunter from Texas and fits our Rams. It is priced only at $229 and that includes shipping!

You can find it at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...spagenameZWDVW

Does anyone have any experience with this brand? Install hard? Do you get what you pay for or less? Please let me know. I am going towards the black finish...I am not much a person for bling bling on my truck! Thanks all!

Well I didn't get the noise off this thread I was hoping...oh well guess I'll go ahead and hope for the best! Black finish is what I think I will do.

Oh and btw does anyone have experience on exhaust cutouts? Long term I mean, do they leak? Just wondering, thanks!

So if your last name is Hunter than you must be part of the company and can get me a 20% discount, right?!?

I could only hope!

Flip...anyone install one of these before? Most of it is straight forward but I have 2 bars that don't show where the go. Also I was wondering when I remove the factory bracket if I have to stabilize anything else?

Thanks, let me know.

yeah brush gaurd looks sweet let me know how it works, i may be interested in getting one too, as for cutout , i was looking to getting one too, but there is so much i had to take into account, to have to get the cutout, and the switch which both are alot of money , and if i put it on my truck i wouldent pass emmisions, i would reccomend you get a high flow cat for 80 on ebay, and have mienike install it, they istalled mine for 50 bucks, you will be happy, ask anyone who has one
