Functionality of a Brushguard

Brush guards protect against foliage. The best protection against deer is paranoia at night.

I have one like that on my Dodge Dakota I bought from Carid but mine is a Westin. I got that one because it has one additional crossbar on top middle part.
I think it's worth the $300-$500 cost.
Plus they come pre-drilled for mounting off-road lights. Now I have a 2002 Ford Ranger and I'm probly gonna put a Westin on that too.

unless you get a real "grill guard" like the ones made by Ranchhand. I plowed through 3 full size deer at 70 mph all at one once with one of those on my truck and didn't get a scratch.
Unfortunately i can't find a Ranchhand grill guard for a smaller truck like a Dakota or a Ranger.

Why not go full ham and get steel bumpers like myself? They weigh a fuckton but have saved the truck from multiple deer.

good lord that beautiful

gunna have to ask you to post a few more pics of that thing mister

if I had a 3/4+ instead of a halfton, the first thing is a big replacement bumper. just sucks though cause nowhere around here sells ranchand or similar, just those ugly underbite looking road armor ones

I've never seen so much ignorance in one thread. One week after getting a brush guard, i got into a front end collision going 35mph and my truck came out unscathed. While the lady that hit me had to get a tow because her entire front end got destroyed.

deezee and smittybuilt are mall crawler tier

look around for something like >>14749314
or >>14749711

a $300 deezee is nothing like a $1200 ranchhand bumper

Deer especially Doe(s) travel in herds, the also like to stand on narrow backroads.
I rounded a bend and hit six one morning.
>6 deer vs 1 R-model that was 3 tons overweight with bad brakes
Guess who won

That more has to do with car vs car. Deer can still fuck cars up depending on the style of guard and the type of car.
