Advanced Modular Protection. Full Front‑End Defense.

Upgrade your protection. Upgrade your presence.

The ARMORDILLO® AR2 Series Pre‑Runner Grille Guard is a heavy‑duty modular front‑end protection system engineered to shield your bumper, grille, and headlights from minor collisions, brush, rocks, and unexpected road hazards.

Constructed from durable A36 steel and designed with an aggressive pre‑runner profile, the AR2 delivers expanded coverage and commanding presence — far beyond standard bull bars.

Built for impact. Designed for dominance.

Fitments:

  • For 2019-2021 GMC Sierra 1500

Full‑Coverage Front Protection

The AR2 system provides extended front‑end defense through a reinforced multi‑tube structure:

  • 3.5" outer headlight protection tubes
  • Reinforced cross bar to protect grille area
  • Integrated push bar body structure for frontal defense

This expanded configuration offers significantly greater coverage compared to traditional bull bars.

When protection matters — go bigger.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Daniel ★★★★★

The modular mounting brackets lined up perfectly with the factory holes on my 2020 Sierra, so installation was surprisingly straightforward. Gives the front end a much more aggressive stance without adding excessive weight.

Thomas Y. ★★★★★

Bolted it on last weekend and the whole setup feels rock solid—no rattling even on rough back roads. The modular design let me keep my factory sensors perfectly aligned without any extra brackets. Exactly what my truck needed for trail duty.

Evelyn ★★★★★

Took a chunk of gravel off a deer stand on the tailgate and the grille guard didn't even flinch, which tells me the modular build is solid. The front-end coverage is exactly what I needed for ranch roads, and the install only took a couple hours with a buddy.
