I really havent looked for any input on this but from what i seen bull bars are only for looks. Mounting systems for them just look cheap to me. But if i were to buy one, I think the Westin bull bar would be sweet looking.

@trev...i also noticed the weird mounting brackets on the westin model...
I'm wondering why they dont just bolt them straight into where the holes would be after the removal of the tow loops??---remove tow "loops" and bolt on the bull bar..!..How hard can that be to design??

Also the Bull bar must be good for something other than mounting lights on...Ya'll dont think you could wrap a chain or tow strap around one to pull you outta some mud????
