brush guards

[Archive]

Has anyone with a brush guard (one that also replaces the front bumper) had any over-heating problems with their engines? There are a number of nice looking (in looks, and build) replacement bumper/guards out there that have air passages for the radiators. But do these bumpers/guards provide enough airflow to the radiators?

A search on "brush guards" and "push bars" didn't find anything.

I have a Ranchhand on the front of my 2001 and have had no problems. Had a Tiejan rplacement on the front of my 99 Ford and had no problems. Go to www.ranchand.com for some good quality pictures. Their main office is out of Boerne, TX. , just west of San Antonio.
they also have a damn nice wrap around rear bumper which i'll pick up on my next trip to San Antonio.

I have a RanchHand also. No problems with temp. Protects the front from little foreign cars too.
