Yep, if you mount it like i did mine you won't be able to see it. You can try firsttoyz idea about mounting it to the bull bar. Sorry about that.

The Bull Bar looks good. Are you going to mount any lights on it?

thnx firstoyz...not a bad idea...i guess ill have to check wen the skid pl8 comes in if i can attach it anywhere underneath...if you look at the pics i posted with mount pics, maybe you can make a suggestion....
for momo, im not sure bout putting lights on the bar...i dont really know which style/make of light wud look the best. but atleast i can put them on when i find some, as there are brackets

Just in case you were wondering how it would look.

thnx

haha your good...actually i like that! thanks...how much do the pias cost?

I'm not really sure how much PIAA's are. I know Brian, aka Waskillywabbit, install a pair of Hella 500's and really like them. You can usually find any of those lights on e-bay pretty cheap. Just make sure you can get rock guards for any lights you get. Being that they will be so close to the ground they need to be protected. I think any lights would look good. Also, make sure on the size of the opening will accept the lights.

Here is my post from yotatech...another copycat :-D

I got mine delivered yesterday and here are the pics:


Don't mind it being crooked...i didnt tighten the bolts all the way yet

I used two pieces of aluminum on each side for more stability since what i had sittin around wasnt that thick, each piece was about 3/16" but with two it is pretty firm

I lined up the end of the skid plate with the end of the bumper...great mod and compliments to the starters of this mod. Looks awesome...hope everyone thinks the same....thanks again

Brian,

Any chance you can post a picture of the whole front of your rig. You just don't get the effect of an add-on unless you can see the whole picture.

Thanks

Since this is a pretty cool mod, i have moved the thread to ACCESSORIES and stuck it up top.

Thanks everyone.:thumb:

That looks really good on the silver. Good Job!
