Get it if you want. it's a decent price.

But I got that exact one, new, from eBay for only $20 more.

this type of brush guard is for style not function... It doesnt block the towhooks, but it is in the way if you actually need to use the hooks for recovery.

ive never had a problem with mine being in the way of the hooks. but the bottom bar does get in the way every once in a while. mine now has a big dent in it.

what brush guard that they make for a ranger is for function? the only reason i want one is to protect my head lights and corners i have broken 3 corner ligts from tree branches and im tired of it lol. also if you would hit a deer the brush guard will more than likely save the front end of your truck
