Default Push/Brush Guard

I just ordered one from a local dealer (Around the same price I found online)
Full Brush/Push Bar in Black. I thought hard about getting a bull bar, and was SO close to getting one. then decided to get this one. Should be in, in a few weeks (2 to 3 weeks) also ordered Spot Light brackets for my Backrack to install my floods.
Starting to run out of room to keep stuff till summer.
Lower and Upper Rad Supports, Rims, Lights, Strobes, Wires, Big box of wire loom. My room isnt that big. and now this will sit here untill I get the rad support (lower) replaced in the summer. Anyone else replace theres? Do I need to pull both fenders off?
(I have replaced the entire front end of a 2000 Dakota. Fenders, Hood, Supports, ect)

Would have got S/S to match my running boards, but for $850ish, not worth it imo.

Heres a pic of what it looks like. I seen pictures on here of someone having it on thier truck, or one close to it. Thats what sold me on it.

My support bar that runs under the radiator on my truck is just being held up by the plastic guard, rusted completely off. Mine is due to be replaced, but gonna wait till I put the body lift on so see if I really need to replace it.

Let me know how the install goes... Take lots of pictures for me!

How far does the guard stick out from the grill. Most of the ones I've seen are pretty far out to clear the grill when opening. From the front pic this one doesn't look like its too far out there.

I thought the same thing until I saw some pics on here. These sold me on getting one.

those brush guards look sick, specially when combined with the roof rack.

Whose truck is that, loving the blue calipers, matches the black pretty nicely
