OK, Another noob question worth asking. In the realm of front-end reinforcment, Are grill guards/brush guards/bulls a waste of money?
I used to have one on my Jeep and all it did was mess up the handling, diving the vehicle in panic stops, due to weight. I can see that they give you some protection in low speed impacts, but can you imagine if you accidentally struct a person? Seems also it could really goof up the safety features of the xterra's crumple zones.
In my situation, a full-on ARB front bumper is a bit over-the-top. :laughing3:
