Thoughts on bull bars that don't interfere with the safety systems that have light mounts or lights

    Looking at possible bull bars as I think grill guards would interfere too much sith the safety system radar ect.

    Thoughts on them and options for those that either have mounts for lighting or built in.

    Any ideas, thoughts or options wanted.
    I dont go off road but want to protect the front end.
    Thanks all

    bull bar will not protect, they are more decorative, or for mounting lights. They are not strong like an aftermarket bumper, and will fold back into the truck in an impact vs offering protection. Some have called them "damage multipliers" for that reason.

    To protect the front end would need either a grille guard or a full bumper replacement (with bull nose or grille guard)
