Only thing I don't like about my bull bar, is how low it mounts below the bumper. I'm planning to remedy that during my winch installation though.

Not a fan of the bull bars. They can be functional (like the ones found on police cars) but mainly they give you a mounting point for aux lighting. They aren't designed to take any hits and expect them to do more damage than without one in the same situation. You mount them to the frame and hit anything and it transmits the energy to the frame (no good).

I like it a lot was torn between Lund and Rough country was it hard to install?



Install was super easy. I actually just took it off and sold it to a buddy. Wanted a cleaner look.

I mounted my bull bar to hide a dent from my runaway truck damage. I had parked my truck on a hill with a trailer behind it and apparently with the emergency brake on and in park, the dew on the grass allowed the rear wheels to slid down the hill and over my daughter's mail box, denting the lower bumper. The YouTube link is the video my dash cam recorded of the incident.
