Default Opinions Needed: Thinking About Ditching the Bullbar





Just got a new grille on (Raptoid) and I think my bullbar takes the attention off of the grille too much. I could put the lights I have on the bar somewhere else.

What do you guys think? Keep it or ditch it?

Ditch it.

- Clean up the truck's appearance
- shed a few pounds
- clean up the aeros
- worst accessory ever, lol

Thanks for the feedback man! I'm leaning that way definitely. And I'm impatient so it'll probably end up coming off tonight. I do have to figure out where to mount those lights also.

I agree not a fan of them. A nfab discreet light bar would look a lot better.

I like it. Can you mount the two middle lights from the lower bar also? Those two hanging compared to the outside ones was the only thing that looked odd to me.

With the raptoid grille on I say ditch the bar. You could put two lights in the lower bar portion of the main grille and two in the middle of the bumper

ditch it and the taillight guards, put the rigids in the bumper opening - you can mount a piece of angle iron in there easily

or put two in that opening, and two (more) behind the grill

I actually like it on THAT truck it suits the whole style. It would not look anywhere as good on mine, but completely different set up. If you are looking for opinions, I think there are better choices for flairs, but that's JMHO..

Maybe take it off and get the raptor bumper? Looks like it would line up with your flairs

I think if he took the 2 lights off the upper bar he could keep, I noticed those brackets too. Without those there it would be a cleaner look and he could keep the bull bar.
