Default Re: Anyone interested in a REAL HD brushguard?

I don't mind spending $1.5k on a solid, well constructed guard, Real Wheels or Rubberduck, but I am struggling with my "instant gratification" problem right now. I will be patient and wait for the Rubberduck, not just because of the expected quality, but also because he advertised in Azimuth (using "GO DUCK YOURSELF" -- nice).

Question... will the Rubberduck Treehugger be built using powder-coated stainless steel like the Real Wheels guard? I am thinking that I would like stainless as a base because it's bound to get nicked and dinged all the time and every nick and ding will be a breeding ground for rust.

Oh, I saw a Road Armor guard on a truck the other day, huge and heavy, but rusted all to hell and it looked nasty. Would rather not have to deal with that if possible.

If stainless has faults in this application, please share the reasons why as I would genuinely like to know.

Thanks.
