Default Ranch Hand Grill Guard

I've been looking at buying a grill guard to put on the truck when I get back to the states. What is considared a "good price"? Are they hard to install? I would have preferred to get a complete bumper, but I just cant afford that.

Last time I priced one out, they were between $800-$1100. As far as installation, if it's the one designed to fit the year, make, and model of vehicle, has all the parts, and has good directions. Hope that helps a little!

6 Of 1 Half A Dozen Another - Some People Tell Me They Install Great, Others - Like My Neighboor, Had To Have His Body Guy Make It Work.

Either Way They Are A Hardcore Product - Price Wise Compaired To Some Bumpers, Just Can't Be Beat.

Yeah those are the things I would LIKE to have, those nice bumpers. I cant afford that. I was talking about just the brushguard, ran with a stock bumper. I was thinking in the range of $200 or so. I just cant afford the whole bumper....

No the full brush guard that coves comes up and covers the grill, and has bars that come over the headlights.

Ok. Got it now. I put that style on my Toyota
I had years ago. If you have to assemble the
bumper it'll probably take ya two to three hours
to build and install. If you get a used one that's
already together you can have it on in an hour.
You may need to adjust these times to suit your
drinking habits while doing all of this.

Yeah no kidding right? So given my Irish drinking "skills" I'm looking at about 5 to 6 hours of wrench throwing and knuckle bleeding. I'm talking about something like this right here.
