So what do you guys think of this grill guard for an X?
http://www.aztrucks.com/Category.asp?product=387
And if you are familiar with the Go Industries grill guards (Big Tex etc) do you lose the tow hooks?
I have also looked at Ranchhand and Westin but this caught my attention. The step plate would be very functional.

The model you have linked sure looks stronger than the native ranchhand model,I'll give it a thumbs up 
From the photo on their page it appears as if the hooks are intact but to be 100% sure give em a ring when you can to confirm the hooks 
I use the step bar on my bumper all the time,comes in very handy

I have the Ranchhand Rover grille guard. Check my album for pics. It was easy to install and YES the tow hooks are still accessible and DID NOT need to be removed for install. I also looked at lots of different guards and the Ranchhand seemed to have the nicest "lines" and looked like it belonged on the Truck.
Good Luck
