Kstrayhorn,
aint that the truth lol... my next mod will most likely be getting some some blue LED grille lights, and mount 2 of them to my bull bar, and 2 on my license plate...

I just installed a similar bull bar on my X....and....I hated every minute of installation. From dirt dropping on my face (my own fault), to having to remove the bumper...It looks great now, but installing it was not fun.

The one I purchased has a skid plate, but is a slightly different skid plate. Because of the conditions in Utah, and other areas, I decided to go with the different type of skid plate (better transmission oil cooling). I like the skid plate, and spent extra money to get one on my X.
