1. Debris Protection
Every truck driver knows that the roadway can be a dangerous place. Not only do truck drivers have to operate safely while accompanied by other drivers, they also need to be weary of rocks, loose items, and other debris that can become a dangerous projectile on the roadway. Over time, the front exterior of a truck will accumulate dings, scratches, and other damage associated with loose debris on the road. A grille guard will help shield the front end of your truck from pesky loose debris.
In addition to debris protection, grille guards can also be effective in reducing damage after a fender bender situation. However, this depends on the speed and other vehicles involved so remain cautious.
2. It Protects You In An Accident With Animal
Deer crossings are a very common occurrence on highways. Not only is trying to avoid an oncoming deer a difficult task, it’s also very dangerous as quick, evasive maneuvers can cause a truck to tip over and crash. When your truck is barreling toward a deer you cannot avoid, the only preventative measure you can take is having a grille guard installed on the truck. When a deer or other animal impacts your front end, it will cause the truck body to crumple. However, a steel Grille Guard will absorb the impact of a deer and can prevent any damage to the truck itself. It’s far less expensive to install a grille guard than it is to repair the entire front end of your truck.
Despite their protective advantage, larger animals like elk or moose can still cause damage to the truck upon impact. Speed is also a major factor in situations like this. At the end of the day, grille guards are not 100% guaranteed to stop damage from hitting a large animal, but in the right situations they make all the difference between a deer ruining your trip and you getting to your destination on time and unscathed.
Grille Guards not only provide protection, but they also provide a blank canvas to mount more accessories. You can mount additional lights such as LED panels or fog lights. In addition to adding new accessories, grille guards do not interfere with tow hooks or any other accessories you may have currently installed on your truck.
Grille guards are another way of customizing the front end of your truck. Truckers have some of the most vivid, expressive personalities and it’s commonplace for them to customize their trucks to fit their style. A Grille Guard makes your rig look more rugged and tough. Grille Guards come in various finishes and styles that allow you to add that extra level of customization to the front of your truck. Whether you prefer chrome, stainless steel, or a black powder coating: the grille guard that fits your style is out there.
Whether you’re interested in show truck competitions or just want your truck to be more authentically you, choosing the style of truck grille guard that suits you matters.
Some drivers choose one material and structure for their grille guard, and then customize its color.
