I'm looking for a good bull bar or even a full cattle guard. I got a 2010 FX4 and would perfer the guard be black. I liked the Westin Ultimate Bull Bar but I don't want to take off the tow hooks in the front. Any sugestions?

-Thanks.

 

autoanything has many. I haven't purchased one but am looking at those

 

Yeah, but I guess my biggest thing is I don't want to lose the tow hooks in the front. Is there any bull guards out there that will let me keep those? Any links would be helpful.

what about a fabtech prerunner? not exactly a bull bar but you keep the tow hooks

if you check the search engine, the bull bar without removing hooks topic has been brought up several times. so far i havent seen one, other than fabricating it yourself. Iv been looking for one too, so if you get lucky and find one let me know.

 

These look interesting with a few different options.

im going to go with a ranch hand

 

Some of these huge bull bars / bumper / brush guards like the "bandit bar" and the "ranch hand" are ridiculous. I can see them mounted on the front of a Semi, but in "my opinion only" I think they destroy the look of a 1/2 ton truck.
If owners of these trucks were trying to push their way through the Brazilian rain forest, ok, but 90% of these trucks will never see anything rougher then a graveled road.
A majority of the bars are being bought and installed for appearance sake only
I prefer something smaller and more simple like the Weston Ultimate the Truck Champ, the Ionic Predator. The Fab Tech Pro runner is a tiny bit big but I still like it.
The smaller profile bars give the truck a little attitude without looking like a cow catcher on the front of a train. Alot of these smaller bars are mainly for looks and lights and were never really meant to do any real pushing or protecting. I understand that, but I can't really see many people here using those huge cow catchers for much of anything either other then looks and lights either.
But, To Each his Own ! Run whatever makes you happy
