Brush Guard question

With Honors · 04-20-2008, 02:45 PM

I am interested in buying a brush guard for my 07 Titan. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which brand, which ones are the best deal, etc...

I would love to check some pics of your truck if have a brush guard that you like (or dislike I guess).

brush guards are horrible, serve no purpose, look ugly and cause more damage to the frame when involved in a front end collision. do i have real world data, no. have i read reviews and experiences of several other members, yes. have i formed my own opinion, yes. don't get one. save your money on other important mods/parts.

They actually do serve a purpose. There are a lot of deer where I live, and they protect the truck when you hit one, and it is very common to hit them.

So I want to find a high quality brush guard that serves a purpose and looks good.

hooligan is talkin about the brush guards made out of "bailing wire" not the replacement bumpers which is what you are referring to. I recently purchased a complete replacement winch bumper from kennesaw mtn ***http://www.kenmtnac.com/Titan.html. in GA.

you hit a deer, doubt a brush guard is really gonna help. for one brush guards delay the reaction of the air bag to deploy. you hit a deer, your "brush" guard is only gonna get smashed into the front fascia so i don't see how it helps. but that's just from what i hear. if it gives you piece of mind, by all means.

Here we go again...

Mine has saved my front end several times from stuff, so personally, I don't care how well it holds up in a crash or hitting a deer because it's already paid it's weight in gold. Personally, I like having the OEM Guard.

Ok now, I started this discussion previously and received similar responses. I personally like the masculine look the OEM brush guard has given to enhance and not detract from the appearance of my Titan. I had the impression that the OEM Brush Bar would cause front air bag deployment problems or would interfere and/or delay its deployment, but no proof was or is available. Since it has been brought up with so much authority, I would like to see the factual data on this. I hope others chime in, especially Nissan North America. If the OEM or other brush guards compromises occupant safety, I think they should be bought back or we should be refunded unless they wanted to be liable for future litigation. The truth should publicized to protect us and our passengers. Feedback please....
