but one word of advice for the 2wd people, it will lower your front clearance, i go over a lot of crap just screwing around, already lost my front tag, ive noticed a diff with my bull bar in scraping it when going over those concrete medians head on, have to take it at an angle.
hey now what are we doing going up and over the medians, it sounds like you do it a lot and even have a your own way of doing it.

thats a big reason i bought a truck, i use to do it with my car but would scrape a lot and a lot of medians i just couldnt get over, also theres always access roads that run along main roads, but they are sep by 30 yards of grass, dirt, mud, steep hills and would only chance it when it was dry. now that i have a 4wd truck i dont ever worry about it.. .although one day (i will have to try to take a pic) i went down such a steep grade there was only sky in my rear view and when i realized i was about to smash head first into the ground when it levels i came close to rolling the truck because i went hard right to avoid slamming my truck

eh heres a sat photo, the red line is the way youre supposed to go, but it gets backed up like hell right around where i break off (blue line) and take the access road.. the decline at the end is worse than 45*.

I would have to deal with that damn traffic jam everyday leaving work (long time ago LOL) that loop merges but has a yield sign so it just gets backed up, usually to where both the red and blue lines start.

I say go for it and it will probably look pretty good as long as it's not a lowered truck.

My truck is 2wd and I got a bull bar on mine.

Main reason for my bar is because I park in alot of parking garages for work and I use my bar to bump the front so I am parked in as far as I can go. I still stick out like 6 feet further than any other car, but it helps. This saves my paint/chrome on the bumber and cheaper to replace if I ever hit something harder (like a new S550 that ran a red light a couple of weeks ago - the bar was fine).

lol, yet the bull bar makes the truck longer, just get use to parking it, i can back it up to within 4 inches on a regular basis (uh back when i worked)....
