Default Opinions please!

Lemme know what ya think.

I installed this push bumper a while before I deployed but never posted pics. I found the push bar off a old border patrol bronco, I had it powder coated and fab'd up some brackets to fit where the tow hook bolts are. It fit pretty snug and Holds pretty well. I pushed my friends ford ranger half way down the street in park so I am sure I won't have any issues. My question is if you think I should remount the air damn on the bottom or leave as is?

I would put the air dam back on.

Fair warning though, most guys on this forum arent a fan of any type of brush guard, but I personally like it on yours.

And thank you for your service

I never been a fan of em either. Especially some that I see on some trucks that look like they are made from copper tubing and chromed out. I do a lot of off road travel and also use my vehicle to respond when I am off duty (note medic plates).The push bumper came in use a few times already and I am super glad I installed it. I know someone is boun to pick a fight about it. Thanks though for your opinion. Thank you sir for being American!!!

they are 100w, but the housing is the same as their HID versions, so they can easily be retrofited...but frankly I never saw a need with these since they are much brighter and cleaner than "only 100w" would lead you to think. I have them wired to come on with my highs, lows, and fogs. So 4 pairs of lights at once is plenty of light.
