Why do you want one? The primary purpose of mine is to serve as protection in minor accidents and to keep deer/elk out of the cab of my truck on impact. For that kind of use you want something frame mounted, and preferably a full replacement bumper with brush guard. If your intent is just to knock over a few small trees them anything will work.

Mine mounts to the frame, I had to cut 2 notches in the air dam for it.
Sorry for the big pics, I don't know how to make them smaller.

Agreed. You need to decide if you just want to mount some lights or if you want it to offer any kind of protection. And if you want protection, don't skimp on off-brand condoms. You'll regret it down the road.

Hey, I spent $380 on the guard. About a year later I built the bumper, $160 piece of black iron, a sawzaw, welder, a grinder, and about 3days later I had a bumper. Now I got something that I can hit a moose and not worry about. Small trees, minor accidents, chain link fence, and honda civics barely even scratch the paint.
