Smittybilt's Predator bumper guard installed today. A little different from the run of the mill brush guard/bull bar.[IMG][/IMG]

 

Looks good, but what is that square tan thing behind the lower bar?

 

Thas to keep his licence plate warm!
I like the guard jimmy, looks great

 

His truck had a Personal Pan Pizza for lunch...

 

 

Don't think that step is going to be useful now-it'll be a bear to have to take the bar off now...

Maybe inbred's right. Throw a logo on there and get a little kick back from your neighborhood pizza place...

Jimmy, the bar looks really good! Strictly a bolt up? How about cost?

 

Looks good Jimmy, but what is all that white stuff floating around....

 

Nice!

 

Thanks for the compliments! The cost was $425 w/ shipping(shipping cost is freight due to the size) it took about 5 weeks to get though, as it's a brand new item.. It is a bolt on(took less than 1/2hr)Tow hooks get remounted. If you don't have tow hooks, you need to cut the plastic "valence".And the cardboard is for the same reason people put it on the windshield(when it's done snowing, simply remove and clean licence plate...ingenius!)

 

it looks like the guard blocks your fog lights, is this correct. cuz right now my fog lights are brighter than my headlights other than that i like the gaurd would be interested if it doesn't block the fogs

They block them a little. I really didn't drive at nite w/ the bar yet to tell if there is a difference. I don't think it will affect it much, besides it looks too good to consider removal( function follows form I think)

 

Looks like it blocks the Ford emblem too. But who needs to see that. Everyone knows who the boss is without displaying our emblems....right? ...

I thought the first pic you had posted from the front angle kind of looked like a French painter with a mustache and a smile. Just the first thought that came to my weird mind.

I was looking at the Desert Guard from Fabtech, but haven't seen one on an 04 yet. I'm still leaning toward the Westin Sportsman though. For some reason I like the lines on it the best of any brush guards.

Anyway...it is different and I kinda like it. Nice mod!

 

Do you have a pic of the gaurd from further back so we can get the big picture?

Anyone see the the Rock Armour bumper yet?

its extremely pricey. i have been trying to justify spending that much on a bumper since ive seen them
