    Hey guys!
    I'm wanting something on the front of my truck while I save up for some Pelfteybilts so I figured I'd see if y'all knew where I can find some good looking bull bars!

    Are you talking about a new bumper, bull bar type or a hoop bar that you add to the front end. The latter can easily bend back into your front end making accident damage worse.

    I was talking about the latter. I've thought about that but I'll risk it.lol

    Dude thank you! I've saw a guy recently with those on his truck. I wanted to look into them but I haven't been able to find them anywhere until now!

    I had Westin Ultimate Bullbars on my truck. Took them off recently though. I plan to plastidip them black. They are currently chrome which i dislike.

    Yes. Like that, but might leave the skid plate stainless steel. Going to make that decision soon. Is yours powdercoat black straight from the factory, or plastidipped?

    Thanks man, I'll check them out! I agree with you, I'd have to have them in black.

    Black straight from the factory
    Easier to touch up if the paint ever got scratched
    I am willing to sell mine, located in West Tn

    Get a can or two of spray-on bedliner to paint the bull bar. It'll be far more durable and about as much effort. It's not easily reversible like derp but I think it looks better.

    That actually would be worth trying. Just curious to know what the finish would look like. Time to google search...
