yeah...thats a good price...and you are right...no brackets...I used the image just to compare...there are several brands out there that offers the all black finish cheaper too...
There is another brand "Outland" ..but I am not sure if theirs comes with the brackets to mount the lights. They run even cheaper about $177 including shipping. The thing about this one is I dont think they carry all black...but you can always paint the skidplate.

it only takes few seconds to weld on couple, or 3 or 4 light tabs.

im tellin you, please dont buy this bull bar. this is similar to the westin in that the westin only connects in two places. it is a wimpy bullbar not to mention small! i have had a westin but then upgraded to steelcraft once i saw on in person. they are the mean big brother to the blackhorse and westin (or aires) bar. not only is the steelcraft much larger (a good much larger, not an obnoxious much larger), but steelcraft also connects in four places instead of two. the blkhrse, wstn, and aris bar feel like you put half your weight on it and it will snap off, while i am able to stand om my steelcraft and it dosent budge at all. and it also comes with predrilled light holes. and also, it comes in all black powdercoat, which of course looks the best. i bought mine off autoanything.com you should go check it out

oh yeah, and its cheaper too

ya you can take it off, but i like the added protection, plus it dosent have a gay logo cut into it like the other brands do, another big reason i chose this one

Well...after delibarating for a few weeks....I finally ordered my bull bar. I went with the steelcraft brand All Black...paid $174 including shipping (pretty good deal)...hopefully will be getting it this weekend.

Will post pics as soon as I get it installed along with the tube steps.
