) every now and then, for both 'business' (dirt roads, fields, potentially mud while doing archaeological field work) and more frequently pleasure. At the moment, I'm looking into fog lights and perhaps more front end protection for my Taco. There's a lot of deer here in Wyoming (and other things to run into), and a brush guard deflecting a poor doe's head from the headlights and grill of a friend's Chevy left an impression on me. I also don't particularly want to drill holes in my bumber for light mounts. So, I suppose my question is what brands/types/etc. you fine people might recommend for someone who doesn't have the most money in the world but would like a little more there to protect his beloved Taco from more damage (just recently got it back from the body shop after a fun rollover on the freeway, danged ice).
Welcome aboard!
Where in TX are you from-
Anyways -
Brushguard- they are pretty much cosmetic light holders rather than structural protection- If you think your friends Guard left an impression ..think of the impression left in your hood as the brush guard folds in, possibly taking out your headlights in the process. That's why they(most) are referred to as brush guards instead of cattle guards.
- Not sure on your insurance/rollover situation - but if you have money left over- I would have spent it on an aftermarket bumper- Take a look at the TJM bumpers-
- I paid $500 shipped for my ARB Bullbar replacement bumper- compare that to ~$300 for a fancy Brush/grillguard.
- Instead of spending on the brush guard- save it toward a bumper
Shift on the Fly-
You can shift from 2hi into 4hi while moving - (NOT 4LO)
As far as top speed- consider this- If you NEED 4Hi - Snow /hvy rain - should you be driving that fast?.....But yes you can go >50mph in 4HI
