aight..thx every1 for the input

 

In my opnoin they are not always for 4wd. If I could put one on my wifes new corolla I would because of the deer population where I live. LOL. I think it is up to you and what you are going to do with the truck. Good luck deciding.

 

to be honest..thats one of the concerns i have...deer...i drive a curvy road through thick forests routinly...
and the truck isnt lower than the previous picture i posted..

 

I doubt that a brush guard is going to stop the damage from a deer.

 

It won't. He may get lucky though

I hit a deer square on and thank god I was lifted because I hit it and ran it over, that was the worst night of my summer last summer... I felt so bad

 

my friends scion ran a dead deer over .

 

If you lift your truck yes.
If you leave it stock no.
Personally I see brush guards as dead weight unless you drive in a rural area where you need it for brush!

As for deer.. get a ranch hand style one that is part of the bumper and that should help with your deer problem..

 

 

dead weight it weighs like 20 lbs...

 

Maybe a bull bar or safari bar..

a full brush guard is around 70lbs..

like having a high school cheerleader dragging on the front of your truck

 

Heres some pics of my 2008 Ranger with a bush guard on it

 

When I send the guard to Ace it was 55 pounds all packaged up, and thats a full guard.

 

so a jr high cheerleader?

 

I went with the black safari bar on my truck, I like that it doesn t overwhelm the front. its a westin bar and would run around $240 - $280. It was the best price i found for any front end bars

 

i found a local store and talked to the owner..he said hed sell me a westin chrome bull guard ..he priced it at $299...im goin tomorrow to get it..thx every1 for the input..it helped alot
