Chrome Brush Guards--Pic's Please

I am thinking of going with a Chrome over Stainless full brush guard. There are about a million out there on the market. If you have one list what you have and pic's please. I like the bull bar, but everybody and there brother around here has one on there truck. Also I would like to see them with lights and without lights. I like the clean look on them with no lights.

I didn't even know WTF a "brush gaurd" was until that pic was posted.

Why not do what we do in Australia? Call em' all "bull bars?"

Anyway, to each their own but I'm not a fan.

indiana....ill have to say....your truck is one of my favorites on here.....it looks like a bad *** SUV with that cover on the back.....hood scoop.....rugged but not TOO big tires with no lift....nice rims but not taki....
and the A-Bar just makes it look even meaner....perfect blend...

I will be selling my bull bar, but I need to find a brush guard that I like. I don't like the cross bars covering up the headlights. I know most of these are removable. I want a Stainless over Chrome. There are several models I am looking at but Damn there expensive.

Personally, I'd leave the bull bar on. I think they look better, cleaner. Plus you already have it and you can save your $700+ for something else. Heres another tid bit, I have seen way to many accidents, cars and deer that the brush guard help save the front end a little but everything still have to be replaced, ie the hood, lights, etc, plus now you have a junk $700 piece of metal pinning your hood shut that has to be replaced.
Plus no matter how tight you get those bolts, these bars are heavy and they will have some degree of shaking to them.

The front end of these trucks are too good looking to hide and cover up. When I see one coming down the road with say a westin sportman as shown below, I can't tell them apart from any other truck when coming at me. Good luck with your decision.
