I've never heard of it but I'll try it and see what I come up with I found an ad on google from Craigslist for one so i emailed him see if I get a response. I wonder why they discontinued them when there seems to be a fairly high demand for them?

It bothers me that they quit making that guard. I would buy one in a heart beat!

I guess I will keep searching.

Looks awesome man, great find!

Cool thing about the Predator is that I get to keep my tow hooks! I love it, now I need some lights for it. I can only imagine if I never found the F150 sites how different my truck would look and sound, and how much more $$$ I'd have, LOL! The topper is on my truck for the winter months, in the spring I'll be putting my Access tonneau cover back on. Please let me know what you think
Here's my truck when I first bought her in May of 2010....

It's a Jeraco, something else I found on Craigslist for a huge bargain

I think I saw this same bar on Craig's list but was concerned it had some scratches from storage Glad to see it went to someone that will appreciate it I agree they made a big mistake when they stopped offering it. Hopefully someone will come up with something similar in the future.
