    Seems like there are alot of new Ford F150 owners out there. Any of you have a grille guard on your truck yet? I have been thnking about putting one on mine, just haven’t found one that I really like yet. Probably should have done it before I smoked that BIG OL mama deer memorial day weekend!! $8000.00 damage Not sure how much it would have helped, Body shop thought it mite have helped some….

    Thanks

    But then you also wreck a $1000 grille guard.

    I’ll ask my dad what he runs on his pickups. They live out in central SD and won’t have a truck without one.

    Like Gill said, a bad it won’t save you much. However, any of those close call or glancing blows will help a ton.

    I have one on my Duramax and I’ve clipped 3 deer with ZERO damage to the truck or guard and I’ve hit a couple of these deer HARD. As others have said, I wouldn’t be without one.

    what brand are you running? I have a luverne on my ’07 duramax, hopefully it holds up.

    The guard on mine is a Westin.

    My dad has a Westin and some other cheapo he can’t find the name to.

    Possibly, but I would think the grand total of things would be less…..
