My bullbar arrived in the mail today. If it stops raining today, I will try and get it mounted up and post some pictures. I am going to try to devise a setup so that I can stil mount a set of tow hooks on the front, although I may go with a set of aftermarket hooks or a mount for a D ring.

I got my bullbar mounted today. Here are some before/after pics:
before
after bullbar
I still have some work to do. I plan to mount a set of tow hooks to the bullbar mounting brackets, which are pretty heavy-duty. I also want to paint both the bullbar and the front/rear bumpers with Herculiner. Finally, I need some lights...I want both a set of fog lights and a set of hi-beam/off road lights.

^^^ I never understood why ford Axed the Fog Light option from the XLS for the 3rd gen; 2nd gen XLS had fog light option.

Ebay. Here is a link to the bullbar, if you are interested:

I am pretty happy with it. If you have factory tow hooks, you will have to remove them because the mounting brackets for the bar mount in that location. However, I plan to add aftermarket tow hooks to the bullbar mounting brackets. I thing that the aftermarket hooks are more functional anyway (they just aren't as cool to look at).
When my tires wear out, I plan to do the roadbully lift with 265/75/16 tires. That may be a while, because I only live about 5 miles from work.
