    its really easy to install the only hard part is put the bracket on and in my opinion is that you should save up for a bumper because those bullbars dont give you clearance and if you get an aftermarket bumper it gives you more clearance and they look way cooler

    Avid or n-Fab light bar. All of them are super easy to install. If you still decide on the bullbar, it's a no brainer for the install. Having extra hands when figuring out the angle and placement is helpful though.
