    Yes, its on a 2016. No issues with installation, it was just time consuming. It took me 3 hours to put on. You have to partially take off the inner fender liners to be able to torque down the bolts where the brackets mount to the frame. You also have to cut holes in you air dam for the brackets to poke through.

    Is this what your looking for when you say side profile pic?

    Absolutely NOT. I wouldn't trust it with any kind of collision. I guarantee it'll bend right back. But should do a good job of protecting my front bumper from rock chips and its a nice place to mount the LED bar. And I think it looks good. Not bad for $200

    Yea man, thank you for the backed out photo. I am looking at doing the same thing on my TRD OR and wanted to see how it looks with the body and the new front bumper. Yours looks great man, but I will have to get under mine and take a look at the inner finder area your referring to for the bolts. Thank you for the information on it and the installation. One last question, where did you end up purchasing it from and did it come with the light bar, or did you order it separate?

    Sure, it's attached to the front a 4500 lb sledge hammer. The bigger question is will it survive stopping a deer dead in it's tracks and the answer to that is a resounding hell no. It'll push back into the truck and do more damage then if it wasn't there.

    I purchased it from autoaccessoriesgarage.com and I bought the light bar from Amazon.com

    No it wouldn't survive, I'm aware of that. I didn't buy it to be any kind of armor. I just like the way they look. If you buy this product to be some sort of armor, your stupid and you just wasted your money. To me it's kind of like an exhaust. It has no performance gains whatsoever but it sounds good.

    I got my exhaust strictly for sound but I'm thinking it increased my gas mileage a little as well.

    I took the front air dam off added mud flaps and added the exhaust right around the same time... Something increased my mileage about +2 on average... Always use the same gas from the same station...so I'm guessing it's the exhaust.

    I'm no mechanic or expert so it could be anything.

    But I'll take it!!!

    I agree.

    That bumper is badass.

    I kind of want to change my rear bumper out just to get rid of the chrome sides.

    But if money was easy to come by id paint the truck either that dodge copperhead metallic or that audi Ipanema brown metallic.

    Stopped by a paint shop out of curiosity and asked for a ballpark quote on a complete color change from white to one of those two colors... Was told 8000 or more without even looking up anything... I ran away FAST.

    Too rich for my blood. The white looks nice but it's just a bit boring to me. Need predator strikeforce to wrap my truck too :-D

    @Gettin Lost how does the exhaust you have sound, and what type exhaust did you have installed on the truck?
