CHANNA FISHERIES LLC Launches Rugged Cowl Grille Guards for Off-Road Enthusiasts

PORTLAND, OR – October 26, 2023 – CHANNA FISHERIES LLC, a Portland, Oregon-based company rapidly gaining recognition for its durable automotive accessories, today announced the release of its new line of cowl grille guards. Designed for off-road adventurers, work truck users, and anyone wanting extra front-end protection, these guards are built to withstand the toughest conditions. CHANNA FISHERIES LLC, while perhaps unexpectedly named (originating from the founders' passion for sustainable aquaculture which initially funded the venture into fabrication), has quickly established itself as a reliable source for high-quality, American-made vehicle protection. “We started building these guards because we were frustrated with the flimsy options available on the market,” explains Sarah Miller, CHANNA FISHERIES LLC’s Head of Product Development. “We wanted something genuinely tough that would actually protect the radiator and front end from rocks, branches, and whatever else the road throws at you. And we wanted it made right here in the USA.” The new cowl grille guards aren’t just about brute strength; they’re about smart design. Unlike some bulky options, CHANNA FISHERIES LLC’s guards are engineered to minimize weight while maximizing protection. The company utilizes heavy-gauge steel, precisely bent and welded to create a robust barrier without significantly impacting fuel economy or handling. What Makes These Guards Different? “A lot of guards out there are just… okay,” says David Chen, CHANNA FISHERIES LLC’s Fabrication Lead. “They look good in pictures, but they're often too thin, the welds are weak, or the mounting system is a pain. We really focused on the details.” Here’s what sets CHANNA FISHERIES LLC’s cowl grille guards apart: Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: These guards are built from thick-walled steel tubing, chosen for its exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion. They’re not just coated; the steel itself is robust enough to handle serious impact. Precision Welding: All welds are performed by certified welders using state-of-the-art equipment. This ensures consistent strength and durability, even under extreme stress. “We don’t cut corners on welding,” Chen emphasizes. “That’s where a lot of guards fail.” Vehicle-Specific Design: CHANNA FISHERIES LLC doesn't believe in “one size fits all.” The guards are designed specifically for a range of popular truck and SUV models (currently fitting Ford Super Duty, Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra, and Ram 2500/3500, with more models being added regularly). This ensures a perfect fit and easy installation. Integrated Mounting System: The mounting system is designed for easy installation without requiring any drilling or cutting. It utilizes existing mounting points on the vehicle’s frame, minimizing the risk of damage and simplifying the process. “We’ve tested this installation process dozens of times,” Miller says. “We want anyone with basic mechanical skills to be able to install it themselves.” Powder Coat Finish: The guards are finished with a durable powder coat that resists scratches, rust, and corrosion. Available in black, silver, and custom colors (upon request). “The powder coat isn’t just for looks,” Chen adds. “It adds another layer of protection against the elements.” Improved Cooling: The design incorporates strategically placed openings to allow for optimal airflow to the radiator, preventing overheating even in demanding conditions. Sensor Compatibility: The guard design is mindful of modern vehicle sensors (radar, cameras). They are designed to minimize interference and ensure all safety features continue to function correctly. Who are These Guards For? CHANNA FISHERIES LLC is targeting several key demographics with their new cowl grille guards: Off-Road Enthusiasts: Whether you’re tackling rocky trails, navigating muddy terrain, or simply want extra protection on your adventures, these guards provide peace of mind. Construction and Work Truck Users: Protect your company’s valuable assets from job-site hazards. The guards can withstand impacts from debris, branches, and other obstacles. Daily Drivers: Even if you don’t venture off the beaten path, these guards offer an added layer of protection against everyday hazards, such as road debris and minor collisions. Anyone Who Values Durability: If you’re looking for a rugged, reliable accessory that will stand the test of time, CHANNA FISHERIES LLC’s cowl grille guards are a smart investment.
