This being the 3rd Heavy Duty Brushguard I've owned, and the 4th clamping system I've used....
I think it's by far the best.
The SMA one I had used T-Pins up front. These worked out OK, and looked pretty cool, but the biggest problem with them was they didn't secure the brushguard well enough, it still had movement. In addition the pins were sometimes a pain to get in, and since you have to drill the pin holes, they started to rust over time.
We tired 2 different clamping systems with the Tough Country guard. They hold the guard down nice and tight, but there were problems with the strength of the clamps, and we had a few bend on us. They were also a bit difficult to engage and release when properly set to hold the guard in place.
The ones on the RA setup, while not the most attractive option, by far is the most functional. It holds the guard down nice and tight, and is easy to engage and disengage, since nothing was drilled, nothing will rust.
