I'm torn on the grille guard options because I don't care for the 3 smaller bars in front of the headlights, but I like how the sportsman does not have the mesh in the center. I know those "features" of the different guards are meant for protection but I've always liked being able to see my black sport grille and my anzo lights unobstructed, and would like a guard for just a little bit of added protection.

Brettlil17, that looks nice! It actually looks even better than I thought compared to the normal online picture. Just adds an extra little touch to your pickup. Gonna show the pictures to my buddy.

for what’s it’s worth.... those little bars are removable. They are bolted on instead of welded. I like em. I’m happy with the whole thing!

Also I know it’s a complaint about losing tow hooks, there is a set of holes a few inches behind the stock location for them. I just bolted them there instead. They don’t hang out like the stock location but they are still there if I ever need them. I’ll post a picture later if anyone is interested

Good to know. I may eventually go this route. Thought about getting one and having it linex'd

And looks great on the truck. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...2d43b44ef6.png

Does Adaptive Cruise still work and 360 camera?

I was thinking about getting the HDX for my 2018...it's ingot silver with chrome bumper so I am not sure whether the all black version will be too dark, or go with the version that is stainless/black?

Does the bumper actually have to come off for this?
