Ranch Hand is the best, but they don't make a stainless steel one as far as I can tell.

If you go for a chrome or stainless steel grill guard, then you care about looks and not function. Get a RanchHand and paint it any color you want, then you'll know you have a good one.

There are several brands of stainless steel grill guards, so if you insist, here's one:

Re: Best Grill Guard for 2005 Super Duty

Just called the only dealer in my area for a price on the Ranch Hand GG and it was $700. Is that the going price?

You get what you pay for. You can buy cheap stuff, or you can buy RanchHand. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
