I think they would look nice. If that's the lug pattern then it'll look great.

Those would be sick for real. And if you dont mind include me in the light bar deal..I'm about to start working at an exhaust/general stuff shop with all kinds access to good stuff, AKA the metal to make one.
 






My buddy has those grabbers on his ranger. He loves them. Says they are great in mud, and I've read they are good for sandy stuff. Last I saw his ranger they were wearing funny, but he has 3" of TT to fit 33"s under there so the alignment is all jacked up, so I assume that is why. They look sick though.
 






I havent seen them on an X either but I just think the red lettering is sick and I've considered buying them just out of curiosity.

I say go for it, I think they will look awesome on your truck and I will be jealous if you put them on.
 






Thanks everybody for your feedback, I guess I'll just have to get them now! Have to find a buyer for the tires I currently have first though to get them off my hands when I pick up the new ones, I'll keep you updated! And I'll be posting those dimensions soon!
 






Skid plate finally finished! I'm very happy with how it turned out, I think it looks really good! Here are some pictures I took, let me know what you think!

And also for everybody who needs dimensions I will measure them when I get home this afternoon, I've been very very busy with college and life lately and have had barely any time to do anything other than school, so thank you for your patience! I'll post them this evening.
 






Diameter of the bar is about 14''. Mainly the bar is held on by 7.5'' arms that run behind my lower billet grille and are bolted on to the frame. To add even more support, There are two 1.5'' inch tabs just added holding it onto the exterior body so it will not have an opportunity to move at all.

Dude your making me jealous with the light bar and skid plate..Is that thing welded or bolted?
 






what are your main support arms bolted to
 












Hey all, hope everybody is doing well. Been very busy with school and life, but I have a pretty major update I've been keeping under wraps.. Keep an eye out, more to come by the end of this week. :thumbsup:
