Thats a lot of money for something that offers really no protection those things bend back in a wreck and are made to bend easy.You can buy a real off road bumper for a tiny bit more like http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/extr...erokee-xj.html

Yeah, that brush guard looks pretty weak

Get a quality bumper with some headlight protection.

For the conqueror in every truck owner, the ARIES grille guard offers the tough, trail-ready look your truck demands.

I think that part of the add pretty much says it all.

Most people that don't know better think they are as strong as they look,In the real they are as strong as wet paper.The mount holding them in a big u around the bumper thats not strong and will bend back in a wreck probably causing more damage then same wreck with one.The bush guard its self is hollow and thin wall tubing.
