Brush guards are Damage Multipliers
We always tell people they should get ARBs over Brush Guards that Brush Guards are really damage multipliers.
We have pictures to document why Sliders, the benefit a Front ARB, but I don't recall one before of why not a Brush Guard. Found one surfing eBay and thought I would post it up.
This obviously was a small hit by the lack of major damage to anything else and the guard has been pushed most of the way back, but not all the way.

The same thing hapened to me a week after I got my 80. I look at it like just another excuse to buy an ARB sooner. Just work the dents out yourself with a little muscle and use the money saved for the ARB.
I'll quote Adrian from Slee's and say "Paint and chrome won't get you home!"

That response only works if your truck is paid for. Seems the lender
