Default Custom made bull bar









Some will love it, some will hate it. Personally, I am pretty happy with it. Reminds me of something off Mad Max. I used the Spyder square tube design, but made it to fit the lines of the truck rather than their cookie cutter part with some brackets to fit whatever you drive. Made with 11ga. steel tubing cut, machined and then TIG welded together. Complete with a stainless steel skid plate. I might add some 4" or 6" lights on top of the center bar at some point. I plan on doing some Fuel Mavericks and a more aggressive tire in the near future which should help tie in the rugger look with the rest of the truck. Although I am considering making some step bars to match now.

That's unique and very well done.

I'd lose the 5.oh-oh badge though - that is kinda tacky, lol. Takes away from the clean front/bar appearance.

And Tig welding is a whole different level of welding.

If I add lights, which I think I will, I will remove the center piece on that lower grill and just have the mesh. I had the 5.0 badge already, so I thought I would try it and see. Hey, you never know what might be the latest craze until you try it. Thanks for the compliments guys. If I had it to do over, I would have coughed up the coin for stainless tubing and left it a satin finish like the skid plate is. I also wish I had added some ears on the bottom I could attach a toe hook to.
