    Don't get a bullbar if you do any off roading as it kills your angle of approach. I had one and got rid of it immediately after it got pushed against my bumper and scratched it while doing only light off roading.

    First off, welcome to TW!

    You'll find that bull bars, or 'push bars', aren't really looked on all that favorable around these parts. They tend to increase damage from any front-end contact, hurt approach angles, and will crumple at the first sign of any direct pressure on them.

    I'd recommend waiting and going with something stouter. However, I don't pay for your truck, so it's 100% your call - just my two cents!

    I would suggest Avid's light bar like seen in my sig. A lot stronger than a bull bar.
