Thinking of putting this behind my E350 van to keep stones off the trailer and the boat. Anybody else use them? If so, any comments?

Thanks!

I know Phil Gutmann just put them on his truck for his trip to Canada. Followed him in the rain on Sunday coming home from Eagle River. They worked well.

They are supposed to work real well. It's really a small investment to protect the larger one.

there are versions available that will mount onto your receiver rather than permanently drilling them onto your bumper. just as effective, but easily removable if needed. they're more expensive than the ones you are looking at, but might be worth checking out.

You'd be seeing a LOT of them (or something like that) on vehicals heading to the Northwest Angle!

Mike,

I have a home-made version that I welded in my shop, it works great. Very wise investment to protect the front of your rig.

I'll have photos and information about a great product that the PWT anglers use tonight when I get in from covering the weigh-in.

Mike, Muskyalan has one on the back of his pimpmobile. He would be the guy to ask.

I do not know what style this is, but if you have to drill through your bumper I would not do it your bumper will rust.Bill

Most of our boats are older than 'gravel', Mike!
