Well since you asked, bull bars are lame. That street bar is better looking IMO.

I personally like my bull bar and plan to keep it for a long time. I debated removing it once and doing something like that then like a week or two later hit the bull bar which saved my front bumper from getting messed up. (I was going through a tiny ditch and decided to go faster to throw some mud and impress a girl...) I hit the ground, put a small dent in the bull bar, pushed the skid plate level with the bumper, and popped a bolt through the valence. Would've been much worse without the bull bar. So depends on if you want the low front end protection or not. Personally I like the bull bar better.

i think the light bars look better than bull bumpers but i like the idea of protection more so than the look part. functionality over appearance IMO.

Vote for the nfab!

Looks cleaner. Well unless you have a dirty truck before you install.

Lol! It's such a stark contrast it almost looks like you photoshopped them.

I agree with tareed94 as my bar has saved my bumper a couple times. I paid 350 to get my front bumper repainted and half that for the bull bar so it takes the beating when I go off road. Although you can fit more lights and retain your tow hooks with the light bar. I don't like losing my tow hooks as my 32" tires and stock height truck make it easy to get stuck offroading

I'm gonna be attaching my old hooks to my receiver hitch over the summer so I can pull people out after they do stuff like try to take a 2wd Chevy over a sand dune, or a 2wd Tundra down a small mostly packed sand trail and get stuck.
