As many bicyclists as are killed on the roads every year - I don't find this comment very tasteful...... If you ever have a loved one hit, you would understand!

I called the shop to see if they can get it and no luck. They can get a Westin HDX which looks similiar. I'm going to do a little more research as it's a new product. I don't have a guard yet as I've been contemplating a chrome or black one. After this winter has started pitting most of the chrome on my truck, I've decided on black. This will make it easier in the future to repair as it can be touched up or powdercoated. Once again, nice guard and I really like the fact that it protects the radiator as the honeycomb plastic grille on these Rams aren't going to stop a good size rock on the highway.

The Ranch Hand is similiar but I can't find a good pic of the Frontier. I'll have to check with the shop, but we're limited up here for selection of aftermarket parts. I might consider a trip to NY to pic one up.

Just bought and installed the Steelcraft grill guard on mine last week. Am waiting to get the driving lights put on before posting a picture. Was easy to mount and you still have full use of your tow hooks. Good product in my opinion and was only $379 delivered.

Mattsmountain---I dont have tow hooks on my truck since its a ST but they do make one so that you can use your tow hooks. I believe the model number is 1209p. Just go to the cattleman website and you can see for yourself. I love it so far.
