I bought a Black one from Ebay. At first I liked having it. They are fairly light and additional lights can be mounted. I ended up mounting foglights on it since mine didnt have factory fogs. I ended up doing a foglight bumper swap and decided to keep the bull bar off for a clean look. Plus, it really exploded onto the market and a lot of trucks have them.(I like to be different).

I got mine from hunter truck accessories. It was cheap(170.00), If I could do it over, I probably would have gotten a Westin Bull Bar.

Hey sin, how well are those bull bars on there? Can you use them like you do your front tow hooks?

They are bolted on there with the bolts from the tow hooks, but I would not use them as one. It is just 3" tubular mild steel, tow straps and a yugo would be ok, but I would not chance it on mine.

I have the material and a few ideas to fab a way to re-mount my hooks, just no time.

I have the Westin bull bar (in chrome) and definitely would not use it to tow anything. I was in a front end crash last year and my bull bar did come out pretty well though with only a minor dent in it that you can't see unless you're looking for it.
