I have a 2003 F-150 and am considering getting a bull bar with some KC daylighters straped to it. I was hoping that i could see some pics, of the pre-2004 body style with a set up like this. Also, there are tons of different bull bar brands, what would look the best? many opinions welcome!!





~THX~

 

i am also looking into a bullbar for my 2006 and i think i am going to go with Westin.. i have heard many great things and love the look. the only thing i dont think i like about the westin is their lights....i may try to get another brand to mount on

 

Here is mine not Westin but basically the same thing

 

So what is the purpose of the bull bar besides the appearance? I love the look and am considering them myself.

 

I've only had my 4x4 truck for about a month now and don't have a bull bar but I can give one reason....

I has to leave a Jeep trail as another vehicle was blocking it. I cam around a bush and never saw a large rock on the side of the road. I was just crawling along and pushed it about 4". It just scraped up my air dam a little. That is when I decided I wanted a bumper guard or bull bar. You cannot always see things right in front of the truck due to the lift and front end. While I've still not rules out a bumper guard, to protect the entire painted bumper, I like the skid plate on the front of the bull bar. I'm also hoping that a bull bar might offer enough front end protection for this reason.

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Adding lights makes it better for off roading, As far as strength minor stuff it would protect but I don't think I would go trying to pull anything real heavy.


I used mine once on a pulley system we had set up to skin a deer at our cabin and with the lights it worked great

 

awesome thanks for the info. before buying my 06 f150 fx4, i had a chevy avalanche and had an OEM brush guard on. my brother waas driving it and rear-ended someone and the brush guard actually bent back and did the majority of the damage. turns out, it was just there for looks....not strength

i hope that bull bars have more strength than that!!

 

Mine is not a bull bar but.......
