Unfortunately mine. Looked down for the slightest second because something fell on the ground and the lady in front of my in a Kia SUV slammed on her breaks. I was going about 50 but luckily I had a little time to slam on by breaks to maybe 25 and turn to the right. LUCKILY, though insurance will be getting me the Lariat grill and bumper w/fogs for me instead of the ugly 3 bar and no fogs. Just a $500 deductible </3

If you can swing it, why not slip in a few extra bucks and get the Harley bumper/grill? The beginnings of a great XLT progression...... but of course would lead to more investment down the road. Oh, and harley headlights too......

That sucks. At least you have a reason to upgrade some parts.

And as for the HD grill and bumper, not a huge fan for the cost. However, I am probably going to paint the heads on my own

I was sore as hell the next day but everyone was fine lol

So my trucks going to look like this

I was thinking about getting this bull bar


Then I was going to paint the trim of the headlights matte black or get the HD ones. Maybe paint the mesh of the grille black. Think that black bull bar would look alright?

Go with the XLT Chrome Package grille. It has the darker mesh. Definitely go with the fog lighted bumper. I'm not a fan of the bull bar at this time.

Throw on a full size grill guard and the next time that happens you'll walk away with some chipped paint and nothin else

Haha! I would if I had an fx4 and bigger tires! On a side note, I will definitely always leave my tow hitch while driving. I was rear ended by a Ram 1500 me stopped him going 50, all I had was a dent in my bumper

Tow hitches work great for punching a hole in the radiator of some 16 year old kid in his ricer. I think you should look into a grill guard . We have similar trucks and it looked good on my 2wd with stock tires, and now even better with a level and 33s.

Stock


After new tires and level
