Eleven thousand dollars later I am wondering what some of you run for an after market front bumper or front guard. Not really interested in the silly little branch and weed stoppers I see on the citified SUV’s. More something like the front of a railroad engine. Any advice appreciated.

Think is made from 3X5 steel tube and may withstand an elk. My Luverene grill guard has been through a couple Illinois deer but thankfully wasn't full highway speed. Couple that it is on an F 250 that sits a lot higher then a F 150. I looked but see nothing like mine in their inventory.

Mine has held up great for about 11 years now. They are heavy duty, I did have both of mine sandblasted and painted with raptor lining bed liner paint, they never did get any stone chips.
