New to 2023 production of Ex-Guard, a steel plate will be attached to every Ex-Guard that identifies the guard by its part number and serial number.
This serial number is linked to all production data related to the guard and will be required for inquiries about the product warranty or information about the product.
Also, to register an Ex-Guard, this serial number is what will be requested.
For more information about how the part number identifies a product, check out our nomenclature chart – https://ex-guard.com/product-ordering-guide/
“Ex-Guard has been an invaluable addition to our fleet. We average 200-400 animal strikes a year, not counting all of the minor dings and scrapes encountered during normal operations. Before we started using Ex-Guard, animal strikes were catastrophic events which included loss of the cooling package, towing, and extended downtime. We started using deer guards 4-5 years ago and the financial impact and downtime of an animal strikes have been greatly reduced. We probably saved around $400k the first year alone. With the deer guard you still may encounter a cracked bumper or busted headlight; however, the truck is still drivable in most cases. In fact, we have deer guards that have taken 4-5 animal strikes and still running strong. We simply can’t afford not to run Ex-Guards on our trucks.”

The bolt pattern that connects your tow hooks to the truck frame is what determines the correct bracket kit.
A 3-bolt and 4-bolt pattern options are possible on the Freightliner M2 106 frame so always check before ordering your bracket kit.
Below are graphics showing both bolt patterns (as viewed from underneath) and which bracket kit is correct for the specific application.
3-BOLT PATTERN which uses XG-19FM2106 bracket kit – most common
4-BOLT PATTERN which uses XG-06FM2106 bracket kit – often seen on pre-2006 or RV models i.e. S2RV
