I want to get a Westin Bull Bar and a couple of 6" KC or Hella lights for my 2002 X. But we have to have dang 'ol front license plates here in Alaska. I found some pictures of Explorers with Westin Bull Bar's and lights, but they don't have front plates. I'd have to move the front plate up to where it would be covering the opening in the bumper. With the lights, almost the entire opening would be blocked off. Anybody else have a bull bar with a front plate? Pics? Oh, where did you get your bar's? Any other that look good besides the Westin?

Ive seen ppl just zip tie it on the "skid plate" of the bar, i just dont put it on, dont like it. the only ppl that'll ding you for it here are the parking "cops"

Wow! That looks great! I was worried about air flow with the plate blocking that opening, but I live in Alaska. It doesn't get too hot. I can't decide if I want the black bar or the Chrome one for my Red X. The black looks great on yours though. Where did you get it? JC Whitney wants almost $450.
