If you're doing any even relatively mild offroading with it, be very sure that the brush guard you get has a solid mounting system and is solidly built - I've seen brush guards bend in surprisingly mild off road situations and cause damage that wouldn't happened if the brush guard weren't there to start with. Basically, I'm suggesting that these types of brush guards are 99% looks and are almost always weak in the function department. Nothing wrong with that if that's what you want - just have your expectations straight and don't expect much in the way of protection from damage if you get one.
Even if the insurance company covers the damage you'd still have the hassle of being without the vehicle while it gets repaired and possibly have to pay a deductible.
