    Been on the hunt for a used brush guard (not bull bars) for the old girl, but having difficulty finding one for a decent price.

    Does anyone have one they're looking to sell?

    or

    Does anyone know of compatibility between other vehicles that could work?

    Much appreciated

    I have this Aries grille guard. It's all one piece... I bought it on Amazon for about $340

    This is what they sell for now...

    I have no idea if this will fit a Double Cab or not...
    Anyways, that has saved my truck several times. I've used it to kill deer, kill turkeys, vultures, a bull dog, and I've used the lower bar to tow myself out of a ditch.

    Here's my Playlist of deer from my dash cam. If you're sensitive to animals getting hurt, don't watch it...

    Getting towed out of a ditch with the grille guardcas a tow hook.

    In my opinion, it's still worth every penny to me at my purchase cost from 2017. If it weren't half the cost of a full replacement bumper now...... like something from brute force fab...

    Nice! I was just about to buy that exact grille guard when I found one for cheap in my area. Problem I face now is tracking down a mounting kit with no manufacturer info. Thanks for the detailed write up man!
