Post your light bar and brush guard pics...

I really need to get some sort of a light bar or somthing, but cant find the right one I want. Seems like none of them look good on the Dodge's. The wrap-around is horrible looking IMO on our fronts, the WESTIN Bull Bar is so far the only one i like. I am looking to put (4) lights on them too, (2) for the long range in the middle and (2) FOG's on the ends. Other, (2) long range would be fine if its a brush guard that only supports two. Even some BAJA light bars look good too. Ohh, save the pics if they are road armor/warrior bumpers, b/c I definetly wont be buying one of those.

I like to see pics of Rams around here with the Go Industries Big Tex and the Manik SS grill guards. After almost taking out three deer early Sunday morning I'm thinking of some protection.

Under $1,000: Randy Ellis Designs Sleekster is my favorite.



Over $1,000: Desert Racing Concepts is my favorite.

Its not just a skid plate. The biggest difference is it has tubes that go under the front of the truck and bolt to the frame, making it strong enough to jack the truck up by the light bar.

The Defiant bar is nice, but its a bit different. It only has 3 light tabs vs. 4 on the DRC bar. I prefer the 4 tabs because unless you put 9" lights on the Defiant bar it looks a bit goofy with so much space between the lights.

Here is my .02
If you are looking at something to mount a few lights I like the bull bars. None of those are going to protect your truck, get the one that you like the looks of. How are you guys hooking up these extra lights? remote switch, thru the fog light switch?

Thanks
