What Wyoming said.
You don't need one, unless maybe you're trying to protect your headlights during drives through thickets?
Spend the money on something else, something functional.

Ram Offroad's Safari Guards are the strongest brush guards I've seen, all one piece excepting the light inner cross bars that are removable.
The ARB bumper with brush guards attached are a good option as well... The way I decided to ultimately go; on my to buy eventually...

Where I live, deer are a real hazard. That's what folks around here get them for. If you mount a winch, warn transformer is the only one that won't twist your frame under lots of torque on an off center pull. I've put way too much pull on mine with no bad results. I guess it depends on your needs. Good luck

Warn transformers are only available from folks pulling them off of their current rigs... Can no longer buy all the pieces -- I've looked into it a year or two ago...
If wanting to protect from deer -- you're really ahead with a one-piece system like Ram's Safari guard. Those bolt together PoSes just result in your brush guard destroying your hood and front of the the front quarter panels, increasing rather than reducing the damage... For all intents the bolt togethers are for aesthetics/appearances only...
The ARB bumper is an option too. But with that you really have to upgrade your tbars as well, which makes it a ~$1500+ project, or 2.5-3x the cost of the Ram...

you'll care how functional it is when your cheap brush guard costs you an extra $1500 in multiplied damage that could be avoided by putting a real bumper that is designed to hit a deer and not taco on itself.
the problem with most brush guards is they all use the factory bumper mounts - which are very thin and not designed to hold under the increased leverage of add-ons like a brush guard. Though yes, the Warn trans4mer is a better solution, it's still not going to hold up like an ARB or TJM bumper with an upper section, in a real situation.

I know my "Toyota" Brush guard mounts to the same spot that my recovery points (IE, hook and loop)are mounted to on the frame. Not on the bumper. But i do believe if I hit a deer or moose, it would not do so well, but will get the shrubbery out of the way.
