I would like ya'lls opinion


I pulled this brush guard off a 75 F250 I once had. I just stuck it on the F-100 to see what it would look like. What say you, keep it or Ebay it? One way or the other I want it out of the garage.

Well, to be honest with you, it looks like it's a little flimsy to actually use as a pushbar...though it would work great as a light bar. I definitely wouldn't count on that saving your grille if a deer decided to suddenly become intimate with it (in a non-Biblical sense, of course.) emoticon For what it's worth, though, it doesn't look bad.

I think it looks fine. I'd leave it on if it were my truck.

I think it looks o.k. as far as teh appearance of the bar, but I've always envisioned these on the front of 4x4's. 'Course that's just me.

Its not bolted on, I just put it on the bumper for the picture. If I do mount it I will upgrade the lights ( so they match :) ) and center it on the bumper.

Re: I would like ya'lls opinion


that looks like the center part of the guard on my truck. Mine also has the bars that extend the full width of the front end and actually protect the whole grill...
