I wouldn't get a bull bar. It has almost no functionality and they don't look cool at all either. That opinion of course. Like someone suggested, I'd spend the money for a Road Armor bumper. Theyre badass and have functionality too. I would first start colormatching everything. Right now your truck just looks like a W/T package with a lift and tires. Make it shine!

I think the bull bars look rather gay. It looks like its trying to do something or be something its not. Im not really big on shine either. I wouldnt mind the color matching but I like a little chrome. The road armor stuff just isnt my taste really. Yes it might be pathetic but just its mainly for looks and think it will make my truck look a little more agressive and different from everything else out there.

Dude we're from Texas. You can find 10 trucks in just about any parking lot with ranch hands on them. Road armor bumpers are at least somewhat different around here.

Yeah that is true but the thing is Im trying to save as much money as possible to buy a home and if I can save a grand on the ranch hand vs the road armor then im that much closer.
