Grill guards for Tacoma

[georgebb]

Just wanna know where you get your grille guards? I'm checking out http://4wheelonline.com/Grille_Guards.175602 and I saw a Go Rhino grill guard for 2006 tacoma. I'd like to get feedback from people who got grill guards installed. Thanks.

Depends on what you're looking for. These used to be regional before shipping and distribution got better. Ranch Hand has been my favorite full grill guard, but there are bullnose push bars and other styles depending on your need.

Like Steve noted, it depends on style.
If your looking for a traditional grill guard ARB has one of the best.
For a rock guard or other type front protection Demello is good and theres normally manny local fab shops willing to build.

Thank you guys for the input. I thought I should ask more experienced users before I decide on what to get. I kind of like the ones with step guards and black powder coated brush guards.

I checked out the grill guard that you are gonna purchase in 4wheel. I just have to say that I like this one better:

Westin Sportsman 1 Piece Black Grille Guard Toyota

Just my opinion.

My B.I.L put one of these aftermarket grill guards on his truck...When I grabbed the bar that surrounds headlight he acknowledged that yes its a over priced POS that would no doubt cause more damage than leaving the light uncovered......the gauge of steel in the tubing is maybe 24g a? Lesss?
Build your own and choose a suitable gauge.

Can you replace those grill guards yourself on Toyota's or do you recommend a dealer or somebody do them? Wonder how much of a pain it is.

 

[steponthepedal]

You can just have it installed in a car shop just to be safe.

Depends on the unit, most of the time they are built to be bolted onto existing spots on the frame, sometimes you have to actually drill and bolt though.

Man, I don't think I'd want to mess with drilling my own holes. I don't suppose insurance covers such addons either, right?
