Over here in Dubai, we don't have issues with wildlife or animals although I did have a narrow escape with a small antelope long ago. I don't like look of most of these Off road bumpers with the hoops and front protection and since I drive in the city most of the time. Thinking about it, I would like some front end protection on my truck; especially when after what happened with my previous truck. Plus it would be a good place to mount off road lighting.
I don't like the standard "Bullbars" that I see. Don't think those can really be called bull bars. They more like skid plates IMO. For me traditionally a bull bar is what most would call grille guards these days.
Recently I watched a couple of youtube videos on customized Police vehicles. I like the look of the front and rear protection on those and wouldn't mind them on my truck. My granddad was a cop before joining the Air force and he used to customize his bike to look like the Police bikes.
I guess I caught that bug from him; hence why I like the look of the Agents Of Shield SUV.
Looking through American Trucks website, I like the look of this..

However I'm confused over one thing.. Looking at the side profile, it loops from under the front bumper and I'm not sure how strong that is, as opposed to mounting where the front tow hooks are..
I like the look of the Westin bumper in the picture. Not sure where to get that. The only Westin guard on the site is the HDX and I'm not a fan of the mesh in the centre.
Also I notice that even though they look similar, they called different names. One is a grille guard and the other is called a push bar. What is the difference?
