It's a homemade bumper and brushguard, with a screen to catch some of those Texas-sized bugs you hit going down the highway.

Somebody has access to welding gear.

Heavy duty Bumper Guard, or Brush guard, as sometimes it is called. Some shops will custome make them for your truck and some places sell them already made, if your truck is a popular brand name.

Hi yes usually fitted when a winch is going to be added to a 4x4 truck as it is strong enough to take a winch mounting. other wise seen as a bull guard. for pushing cows and wild animals out of the way in australia use to protect yourself from a kangaroo throwing itself at you on a highway.

Cattle killer!
