I really like those reverse lights. The bull looks good but I can't understand why someone can't design one so that you could still have tow hooks.

I agree with you 100%. I would prefer to have the tow hooks. However, for me the pros of the bullbar outweighed the cons of losing my tow hooks due to my vehicles use. I believe this all depends on what the individual uses his truck for.

I believe there are some individuals on the forum that have welded there tow hooks onto the bullbar.

New wheels and tires on! Makes a big impact in my opinion. 20x9 Fuel Hostage wheels with +20 offset wrapped in 295/60r20 Nitto Trail Grappler MT's.

No rubbing on the control arm at full lock either direction. Had minor trimming on the plastic on the front and back side of the wheel housing. Kinda tight but have 1-2 fingers in between both sides. Already had the 2" procomp leveling kit.

so these are 295? that is actually a lot more tire than i figured they would be. i may just go with these.

Yes sir. These are 295 and plenty of wheel for myself. I know a lot of people were running 305 and from reading it was more hit or miss on rubbing the control arm, dependent on offset and backspacing. However, I figured I would play it safe and go 295 and I am completely happy with them.

Correct. They are Gloss.

Today I spontaneously decided to paint the side markers black. These were easily popped out with a small flat head screwdriver and the project was done in no time.

I used Krylon Fusion Flat Black spray paint. Picked it up from local Ace Hardware. It says sanding is not required but I chose to anyway. I finished it with 2 coats of clear coat.

Here are before and after pics

Finally got my Westin 6" offroad lights on the bullbar. These are 55 watt lights with the dark covers. Here is a photo of the front end.
