    Which one brand is good for grill guards?
    I was thinking about ex-guard but I saw that it has plastic coating, that I don't like.

    Thank you.

    I put the standard Herd bull guard on two years ago. Paid for itself twice over. Broadsided the one deer at 70+. It just about exploded. Never hurt a thing. I am having problems with the hinge points wearing into the aluminum hole. I've drilled out the holes and put oversize bolts and bushings in it and they are already getting sloppy again. It is flat out amazing how much noise they can make rattling. Drives me nuts. I want to try a press fit bearing with a 3 bolt flange bolted to the aluminum and a grease zerk where it goes threw the bracket.

    Absolutely HERD! Haul agriculture commodities in UT Idaho and NV often in the dark..... 5 Mule Dear and counting. Definitely pays for itself multiple times. Also had an uninsured driver of an SUV come flying onto I-15 from on ramp doing over mph during early morning snow storm with 1/2" snow on the road (myself and rest of traffic doing about 25 mph)...... From behind me about 5 o'clock position, hit my passenger drives, then flew forward spinning and I caught him again with HERD on front right. Zero damage to my rig..... Sure made a mess of his jeep. He then flew off still spinning and was like a pin ball between trailer and right freeway wall before spinning around behind me and across 4 lanes.

    Definitely HERD
