    read build thread
    It looks better on when paired with those lights, but if you ditch the lights then ditch the bar too imo.

    I was gonna say I like it but paint it black until I seen the later pics. Thought about painting or color matching the grill? I do like it and think it looks better black too.

    so...
    what is/was the origional intent of a "bull bar" to begin with?
    did it have something to do with bulls? rancher trucks?

    It started in Australia as "roo bars" because they got lots of damage when hitting kangaroos in the outback. Those original ones are as stout as bull dozer blades.
    Then, because there are no kanagaroos here, it became bull bars. Another variant is brush bars, which is supposed to keep branches and brush away from your headlights and grill/radiator.
    Over time they became a "fashion statement" and became weaker, especialy the mounting brackets, so now they don't really serve any purpose anymore, other than aestetic.

    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.
    Was going to vote off but now that it's black I say on. Could do something about the chrome grill too.
