I was trying to find a way to install hooks in the holes between the stock bumper.

Can't figure it out.

That's pretty nice. Do you think you could push a disabled vehicle with that guard w/o damaging it?

it would flatten like a pancake

from what i've seen grille guards are the opposite of their label.. when someone hits something (like a deer) with a grille guard... it pushes back the guard taking out the bumper,grille, lights sometimes, and hood sometimes... instead of without the guard which wouldve just taken out the bumper. it's nice looking though.. and it could probably push grocery carts around in the wal-mart parking lot but i'd say that's about it

If you hit a deer or anything else like a car with or without a guard you'll do a lot of damage to your vehicle (more than just your front bumper). I do agree that with a guard installed, a light hit 5-10 mph, you'll do more damage to your vehicle than not having one on at all. I heard that from a body shop owner. It does look good with it on though.

bulls can be much better than a huge majority of grill guards, however they are succeptible to the same 'leverage' action issues

if they're heavy enough tube, with heavy enough mounts with a broad enough mounting plate they can be fine under most circumstances

most of the bulls for our vehicles are 'decoration only' and you can shake or push them in with your hand
