I have a 04 f150 Fx4 new body style. Im looking to get a tough bull bar, that still looks decent, and will allow me to keep my tow hooks! Ive been searching and i cant find anything.... If anyone can help me id sure appreciate it!

 

like this?

 

Hey FX4, you selling those yet? I love that bullbar.

 

is that the only one made? i can not belive the aftermarket is so street oriented for such a off road accessory... if you NEED the bull bar, you NEED the tow hooks...

any that are in production?

 

what purpose do you need a bull bar for offroad?I have the Hunter Bull Bar. Love it. is sturdy enough to hold my 275-280 lb butt without flexing, and it repels those idiot soccer moms in the parking lots...which is why I bought it. to look good, and keep morons from hitting the bumper in parking stalls

 

i would definatley consider making more but not till it gets a little warmer out keep me posted if your serious

 

Exactly like that one!!! What brand is that one, and where did you buy it. And if its home made, im willing to pay, to have one made for my truck, and shipping also! Please contact me, i would love to know!

 

Ha. He fab'd it himself. Do a search for his posts and you'll see him pulling a tree.

Anyways, his is homemade, but Westin and Aries also sell bullbars. Look on ebay and take your pick. I've heard they are all built in the same shop, just different names stamped in the skidplate. I personally like the ones that are blank, but Westin and Aries have their name stamped in the aluminum skid......for a few more bucks.

 

Smittybilt, around $150 for black from 4WP. but no tow hooks

 

if you are using your truck offroad and you go to climb an embankment, the bull bar is essential to not ripping your front bumper off or causing other damage... and yet when you get half way up that hill, and get stuck, you will need the recovery points.... one without the other doesn't make much sense to me off road...

they sure do look good though

 

thanks, I kinda miss my tow hooks, but truth be told, my truck is a Street Queen. I occasionally get into the mud, but nothing that will get me stuck badly...maybe a light yank from another vehicle to get some momentum, nothing more

 

Im in the woods as much as i can get, and i need the bull bar for protection, and i need my tow hooks, cause we do alot of wheeling in the woods. Why buy a 4x4 to drive on the streets only, specially if you dont get snow.. just my opinion

 

made the mistake of buying a 4x2 once...never again

you may never use the 4x4 the entire time you own a vehicle, but that 1 time you do, it pays for itself.

 

True!

 

X2, I agree
