Aries Grille/Brush Guard Durability?

hey everyone, I've been seeing that alot of us 1st Gen. guys are sportin' the Aries series Grille guard.
I bought one after a buddy (who didn't know what he was doin' driving a manual transmission) racked up my front end. Plus there's alot of deer around my area. Has anyone hit anything with theirs that can tell me how well it'll hold up against a deer (or another retard's bumper) or at least if it'll save me a trip to the body shop?

 

I was wondering the same thing...

 

Holy 11 year old necro thread.

They're damage multipliers and cause a ton more damage than if you ran without one.

Look up ARB bumper, otherwise you're better off running stock versus any brush guard.

 

I think it would have much to do with the construction and just how things are mounted.

I had one on my 65 Chevy II that was great for pushing over trees . Those young and dumb days.

Store bought just more goodies for the clueless
