For all of us who drive a custom pickup truck, Jeep or SUV, we know how important it is to protect the front end. Whether you’re out on the back roads, constantly at a job site, or just cruising around town, it’s nice to know you can count on that extra protection up front that you get from a custom grille guard.

Grill Guards are designed to fit in front of your existing grill, thus protecting it and anything behind it from tree limbs, stumps, rocks, etc. They also make a great barrier if you hit something like another vehicle, a tree, a telephone pole, and a mailbox. They do wonders at absorbing the shock of such collisions.

Another wonderful advantage of adding a grill guard to your deck is that they are made to look good and to look strong. They are typically made from formed steel tubing, you’ll find them in black, chrome, and stainless finishes, and most are custom designed to fit YOUR vehicle. No more extensive cutting, torching and welding, but true fit and easy to install. You can choose from one piece, modular pieces, and even headlight guards, so you can design and cover just about anything you want.

You may hear other terms used when referring to vehicle front protection, such as bumpers, push bars, brush guards, and grill guards. Oddly enough, grill guards and grill guards are the same product, just a spelling preference. Nothing else. Brush guards are one of the most common front guards, because they are designed to protect the bumper, grill, paint, and beyond from scratches from brush, branches, and the like. Push bars are more of a combination of protection and drive to help push other vehicles. The Bull Bar usually comes with a skid plate and is more focused on protecting the lower front end from stumps, rocks, and concrete contraptions that may be lurking below your normal line of sight.

Grille guards are available from a number of high quality manufacturers including CSI, Rugged Ridge, Westin, Cobra and others. They each have their own particular styles and looks, so it’s important to do some serious shopping before deciding which one is right for you. All of these are easily visible on the many online aftermarket car accessories web shops, complete with pictures. All of this makes it easy for you to visualize what this will look like on your particular computer.

All in all, the grill guard is a wonderful addition to the front of any truck, jeep, 4×4, or off-road truck. Great protection for grill, bumpers, paint, lights, radiator, etc. And just a great look ahead, which really dresses things up. So, don’t delay another minute, just start looking, both online and around town. Take a look at other vehicles just like yours and see what others have done.
