    Looks nice I wouldn't recommend the Bull Bar they are nothing but a damage multiplier, and I speak from experience on that. Maybe remove the emblems, and pin striping gives it a more clean look.

    I am curious on your take on how bull bars are damage multipliers. This is my first truck and I want to know the pros and cons in having a bull bar.

    I had one on my 2010 and was turning into my street from a downhill road. Slid on some ice maybe going about 7mph. Cheap ass garbage Bull Bar crushed right up into the bumper with upward force. Needed new bumper, grill, broke tabs on the edges that were closest to the grill of the Headlights. Only Pro of a Bull Bar is for lights that's it.

    Like, so many.
    I agree with everything in this post. There are some really cool, front bumper options.

    I have heard the same thing from a couple of different body shops - "Bull bars do more damage than if they hadn't been there at all." Oh yeah, WELCOME!

    I am proof of that, I probably would have just needed a new front bumper
