Hi folks!

I have an express and want to get a black bull bar. I need one that won’t obstruct my plate and one that is black. I also would like something that stands up to winter as it can be bad around here. Like this month for example LOL.

Thanks folks!!

So do you need a full bull bar to mount lights, a winch and other accessories or is the bull bar really gonna be used as a light bar?

I have the westin contour on mine. Just hides the top portion of the plate. Weston does sell a plate adapter that bolts onto the bottom bar. I have it but refuse to put it on until I get pulled over c3bfde3aafd81aab78a556e3ec1497b7.jpg

It’s just for show. I don’t care much for off road lights

OK. I remember looking for one for my 2007 & 2014 but nothing was available that didn't require I cut slots into the lower air dam plus there were interference issues if you had the urethane vs. steel bumpers on the 4th gen trucks.

I wanted lights so went with an NFab lightbar which mounted at the tow hook location.

That’s a sweet looking bar! I look at them online but its nice to see actual pics! Thanks for taking the time to post!

I hear ya about the plate. Also, on these plastic bumpers I’m scared to see what’s behind the plate holder ha ha. I wouldn’t want the relocation bracket either

Yeah I was a little perturbed when I pulled my plate bracket off. They just sent the screws straight into the plastic, not really any other way to do it but it sucked that I had two nasty screw holes in the bumper. The plate is mounted on the plates bottom holes to raise it up a bit so itnisnt hidden as much

What light did you use on the upper grill? Nice looking rig.

They are lights that came on the grill. It was an eBay "ford raptor" style grill. They had both Amber and white light options

Always liked the look of bull bars, but was never a fan of how they all seemed to mount below the bumper.
When I got my bull bar (was a gift from my wife), I incorporated the bull bar mounts into the custom winch mount I was working on.

Can't stand the look of any of them. Front of the truck looks too good stock to put that stuff on the front.

Just personal opinion.

They're a necessity out here in the desert, not a fashion statement.....

Did it come with the RAM emblem? I want one, but want the RAM in center like you have. I haven't seen any with the RAM in center and been hard finding the white led ones.
