    As ya'll can hopefully see that side piece was pushed sideways some. it looks worse in person. I cant take the bull bar off cuz idk how and when the truck was bought it was on there.

    I guess I have been lucky. I know that by sheer design, if the bullbar takes enough of a hit it has no choice but to buckle down below.

    And sure, i'd love a new one.. problem is ... i aint got $420 bucks. ah i think i'll just leave the bar on there, cuz i'd rather finish it off than taking it off and hit a deer and f up my grill and radiator.

    Could you get it out? Maybe, with a lot of heat and patience. The structure will still be fucked. So as far as getting it back to "normal", yes you are up a creek.
