Smittybuilt has recently started making a whole bunch of stuff for trucks. They were originally a Jeep accessory company, and I had a bunch of their products on the two Wranglers I've owned. Always have been impressed with the quality for the price...

I think that would look awsome on your truck. Are you going to plasti-dip it since you are the club founder......maybe something to think about.

Hoss67 that would look real good on your truck and at $159 for plain Jane black is a good price IMO and it gives you coating options later if it starts to look taty. Personally I have set this mod aside for now as I had difficulty in my search to confirm the mounting position as I want the ones that mount to the frame from below the black plastic moulding below the bumper vice the standard mount location through the bumper where the tow hooks bolt up to as I would like to keep the hook assy as well (1 Pce 1500 model) and around here you have to pay first before you order and the two places I went to failed to provide me with the answer I need.
I will check out Smittybuilt and see what they got (Stainless here).

I don't know too much about bullbars as far as companies and whatnot. But I DO know that that will look killer on your truck! I always seen them for a lot more than that, that price there ain't bad at all. I guess the ol' Hella lights would work just fine on there.... Can't wait to see what else you've had up your sleeve!

with anything paninted its gonna chip like a **** maybe just me but here in alberta 90% of the population drives trucks and with all the heavy rigs on the roads theres rocks flying everyweres so personally id go with stainless steel or get them powder coated or i think that would look nasty would be to use rockgaurd paint/bedliner paint !!!

IMO it would look bada$$ on your truck. And that seems like a good price for the look. Back when I was into the Jeep thing, like Hammer mentioned, Smittybuilt products were abundant and well-liked by people in those circles.
