Too many close calls. Need front end protection

[Mudeprived]

There has been a noticeable increase of animal population around here. I drive alot at night and have been swerving and dodging animals on a consistent basis. I know it is a matter of time before I hit something so I need to take preventive measures and get a front end bumper that can take the impact.

I am considering ARB bull bar. It is a little pricey but I will get what I pay for. I have been searching other bumpers but most seem designed for off road clearance and holding a winch more than for front end protection. Are there any heavy duty bumpers out there similar to ARB's?

I'd like to run a winch but it is not a priority.

The ARB deluxe is the only one worth even thinking about. It looks great and had crash cans to give it a chance to save your frame.

Not necessarily front end protection, but radiator/transmission protection.

Make sure to leave your skid plate ON and think about installing an external tranny cooler (or 2) and bypassing the cooler on your radiator.

A few years ago I heard about someone who got a pink milkshake because he hit a raccoon or something and it jarred the radiator enough to cause it to break internally and cause a pink milkshake. Of course the radiator was probably old and on its way out anyways, but still.
