By the way I havent noticed any drop of mpg or in my front end height. Its pretty light for a one piece guard.

It looks awesome! I have been waiting for someone to post a black one on a ST/SXT. I was going to go with a chrome westin but that looks really good. I'll have to check the shop to see if they can order one. What's the part number?

Well that depends if you have factory towhooks. If you don't have tow hooks then the part number is 1208p if you do then the part number is 1209p. Cattleman has a website if you wanna check it out and verify part numbers. Like I said I'm pretty happy with it and at least in Texas it was cheaper than a ranch hand

Yikes what do you guys have on your roads where you live? Looks like you could stop a moose.

I've had a buddy hit a moose with his brand new compact and was lucky to walk away from it. The monster almost ended up in his lap!! I spend enough time on the highway and would love to see that on my bumper if I had to play chicken with one.

A week after I got my truck I almost hit a deer going 70. I made up my mind right there that I was going to get a grille guard. That and because in my career of driving Ive had three people back into the front of my truck. If I could put a bubble around my truck I would.

Not much of anything you put on your truck will help against moose. LOL... If your thinking on getting one for Moose protection alone you may want to safe your money
