Hey, this sounds like a plan that was already in progress.

I like it..bull bars only look good on certain trucks. Light bars I think are easier to pull off and..WHO DOESN'T LOVE LIGHTS??

I just ordered the $89 Bull Bar. All I really wanted it for was to mount some lights. It solves one problem and creates another: I've been waffling between painting my grill and headlight trim either black or body color. Black it shall be. Never could understand the silver. The folding hard bed cover is black, so it's all good. The new decision is aux lighting. This truck isn't for off-road, so what I want are top-notch driving and/or fog lights. Suggestions?

P.S. Damn Ohio for requiring a front license plate.

Yeah, NJ requires a front plate too, but you don't see one on my vehicles.

I love the PIAA's, here are the ones that I have, in black for you here. These are driving lights, not fog lights. If fog is not a problem where you are, driving lights go much farther up the road.
A 6" light fill out the space perfectly.

PIAA 520 SMR

And I picked up a set of these PIAA,s for a great price. Saving them for a future project you could say.

PIAA 520 ATP

Well here is the $89 special. It was ordered black, but hit it with multiple coats of everyone's favorite.....Plastidip!!! Installation was pretty easy, my chassis bolts came out without a hitch, although at only 15K they were already showing signs of rust. I had the truck rustproofed before the winter set in. I strongly recommend removing the bolts and putting anti-sieze on them if you EVER have any intention of installing hooks or bull bars.
