    Not that I will be putting a brush guard on my 2001 any time soon…but I’m pretty close to eventually getting upgraded to something like a 2016 or so.

    when I upgrade I am thinking I shud play some prevent defense against the damn deer n get a brush guard!

    I hunt n fish a lot and always on the road at crepuscular times (dawn n dusk or so)…I have hit a few deer in the past n it would really be disappointing to wreck a nice tundra on a deer collision

    I wouldn’t want anything too bulky…just something effective at protecting the front end from a deer

    Any nice brush guards out there??

    drive safe w heads on a swivel!!

    That's my intention as well. Don't want to break the payload bank, either.

    I don't like "damage multipliers". They work on brush and maybe deer but wait until an auto hits it in super low speed parking lot type scenarios, their car will have no damage and the one with the 'guard' will have thousands.

    Ask my friend who used to have one how he knows.

    Ranchhand summit bullnose bumper. Pictures do no justice! Love, it. Only negative, after you buy it, you will turn around and spend another 750 for the same quality rear sport series. Both are superior.

    Good point. Like having a trailer hitch plugged into the RX.

    Is that because the mounting points and anything connected behind them get all messed up while the actual "brush guard" remains rigid and fine?
