    Does anyone have a pic of one installed? Not sure how high it sits. Also, I know I'll have to drop the skid plate to install, but will I be able to put it back on after without modification? Thanks.

    IIRC pics I've seen show it pretty low.

    Take a look at @Mobtown Offroad 's piece for this function. I think it's called a front recovery bar.

    Sits in a nice location, subtle look, great mounting points/recovery ability. Yes, it costs more, but IMHO worth saving up for.

    And no offense to Curt. I have their rear hitch, wiring package and wiring mounting bracket.

    Thanks. That's a slick mount for sure.

    Best route to go if you do not want to purchase a full front bumper or don't want to drop the cash to do so. Mobtown has the best option on the market for a front set up! Fits well. Solid. Clean install. And MUCH greater clearance compared to others in market. Good luck.

    curt31313.jpg Just finished installing it. I was hoping it would be snugger to the bumper, but for what I do, (surf fishing) it will be fine. If I was crawling over rocks like some of you youngins it would be different. I think it looks kinda cool actually. And btw, you do not have to drop the skid plate but it makes reaching some of the nuts easier.

    Looks good. The MO bar would have raised ya up about a foot. I suppose both would meet your surf fishing needs, but I think mines sexier! ;)

    It's a scoop so the protesters blocking the road don't go under the truck when you flee for your safety.

    You're just jealous cause it looks so cool!! ;) Plus when you're transporting 11-12' fishing rods, every inch of clearance is gold.
