Driving a sports utility vehicle or a pickup truck is like driving a mobile fortress compared to driving a sedan or station wagon. For instance, if an SUV and sedan collided, most of the structural damage would be on the latter part of the vehicle. The main reason for this, of course, is the shear difference in size and mass.
By virtue of the law of inertia, a smaller vehicle like a sedan has lesser resistance to force. The force of collision will result in the change in the direction of motion and transfer of energy. The abrupt change in motion an energy transfer will result in the structural damage of the smaller vehicle. On the other hand, the bigger vehicle will sustain relatively less structural damage. This is partly because of the protective structures such as bumpers and grill guard.
On a head-on collision, both vehicles will suffer front bumper compaction. However, the bigger vehicle will have the greater chance of being salvaged. The engine position is usually higher; hence, the engine will suffer less damage. Structural damage from a collision is further lessened by the grill guard. In an SUV, for instance, the wide-expanding grill guard serves the same function as the bumper. It redirects, absorbs, and dissipates the force of impact. By collapsing on impact, some of the energy is redirected. Instead of the impact force being concentrated on the grill, it is distributed on the grill guard frame.
When it comes to redirecting, absorbing, and dissipating the force of impact, the Dee Zee Elite Grill Guard is an excellent choice. The thick stainless steel tubing is structurally reinforced which make it sturdy but light at the same time. The highly polished chrome-finish provides resistance against corrosion. Installing the Dee Zee Elite Grill Guard is a breeze because there is no need to drill holes. Mountings are included and customized for every model or make. It is just a matter of bolting the grill guard in place.
