Yes please take lots of photos. If you have trouble hosting them I can host them so you can show them in full resolution. This is something MANY of us have been curious about.

I just got an email, the bull bar won't ship until 10/30/12 so we will have to wait a while longer.

Thumbs up I'm back ! !

Sorry it took so long, I had some family medical problems that are resolving themselves now so IT IS FINALLY ON !! I got the push bar installed this afternoon. It went on clean and neat. Two small slits in the bottom of the plastic bumper cover and it is rock solid. It even has two braces from the top cross piece to the top of the radiator support. I will post some photos tomorrow if the weather cooperates. Looks great, very solid, very pleased.

yea, the full grill guards are big and doesnt really seem follow the lines, looks like it should provide nice protection on the grille area from debris. maybe add some mesh steel accross the middle. i like the rigid bracket on the top since its so tall.

most of the fourth gen trucks i see only have the bull bars, which are usually a round tube and only come up to the bottom of the grill, but i dont like the fact that they are only supported from all the way underneath and seem like they would bend right back into the bumper if they pushed against anything.
