Im gonn have mine similar, but with doubled horizonal tube (think allpro), tubing that wraps and covers that 'mess' and the tubes in front of the headlights to be a bit smaller 1.5"?

or this one:

they don't block your headlights and they help feed our boys!

my bumper doesnt block the head lights much, it doesnt affect the light pattern at all. and i dont like the way addicted and 4x bumpers look so much, just my opinion.
i know you cant see the bumper but this is what i did after putting it on last night. i could have gone all the way over but it was too public to be hoppin curbs

hell thats a damn good reason to get one. i love it! and theres plenty of room up front, my 33's couldnt even dream of touching it, even if i sas'd. so far its shopping cart and snow pile proof, havent hit much else with it, on big objects i think it made my approach a little worse but it will slid without being demolished like the stock bumper would lol, i highly recomend getting it. and further up in the thread theres a link to a site that sells a great frame cross plate to strengthen the mounting area im goin to buy soon

Well ill see how it goes, the stock bumpers are like tin foil anways.
Took the rear bumper off and yesterday i bent the crap outta the passenger front bumper.
I just want to see what it looks like before i buy it. I don't really care for the stinger but for 350 what the hell

the stingers worth it man, if you do anything extreme or even not so much, it will save your life... ive seen vids of trucks almost go head over heals and sit on the stinger the rock back on the rear wheels, its scary. and it protects you grill and off road lights. and i think bumpers look silly without em, but thats just my opinion.
you should get a trail- gear for the rear too, they have an option for the side brace for the 4runner since the mount is on the inside, its pretty bad ass, the look pretty good.

yes i have their sliders i need to weld one, and i need front and rear bumpers badly.
I have the swing out tire carrier that i don't want to have deal with dismounting to put those rear bumpers on though. Im still undecided on buying one
