    I still can't decide how I'm going order one of these! I can't decide between a center hoop or no center hoop....

    I'm stuck with the same decision too. I knew for sure I was going to without, but the more I look at it, the more the hoop is starting to grow on me. Such a touch decision :confused:

    Yeah I probably should since I plan to have lights on it. And if I decide later on I want something different I can just cut it off.

    I like how clean it looks without one, but I'd probably be better of with it to protect my lights. I'd say order it with one and then if you don't like it just cut it off...

    After being teased with one of these bumpers, the center light hoop is a must have!

    I really like the added light hoop. half guard is probably my favorite option although i have full guard on my truck just to protect it as much as possible :D

    and the half guard also saved my ass when i rolled my last truck, kept the cab from being crushed in and was holding the whole truck up on a bolder, so ya i'm a little partial to having light hoops haha

    So it's either save up a lot of money until I can afford one of these, or do a lot of little mods and buy sliders, then just save up until I can afford a front and rear bumper at once. I really want a front bumper.... Haha

    save up for a front, join the next group buy, win the free bumper, then get sliders.

    Problem solved :D

    Haha hopefully I'll have front and rear bumpers by the end of next year.

    This year will be sliders and a bunch of random mods. Tint, exhaust, stereo, etc...
