If it didn't have the logo I'd buy one and try it.

Thinking it could be covered up by a strip of media of your choosing. I agree the logo is obnoxiously BIG.
I have a large decal ready..."Let's Go B#$N^&N" that would be perfect...what's this thing look like on the truck? Any pics? How/where does it mount? Will it fold like a pretzel like all other Bullbars?

Yes that sticker /logo is huge. I wouldn't want some prankster ( like my buddy) to turn that last L into a D ?
Here's their TACO version...it's laser cut holes...still, being attached by two points down by the tow hooks, this thing's gonna fold like a taco if you hit anything with it...

If it mounts to the tow hook area like my TAC bull bar, I am guessing it's not very substantial. If you just want it for looks or for some parking lot protection, it seems pretty expensive.

Most of the front bars interfere with the adaptive sensor if your vehicle is equipped.

I did get to use my bull bar the other day in a snow bank, it didn't budge. Wish I could weld it in position though.

looks like it kills front approach angle.
likely much better off with a full bumper with the hoop integrated.

$800 can of beer. Wow I wouldn't want to test that. Looks like my SVC light bar would hold up better than that, and I have no logos on mine.

You might as well save (edit: spend) a few hundred more and just get a new bumper that will actually hold up under pressure.

I was considering a bull bar but I think I’ll go that route when my wife forgets about all the money I’ve spent this year. ?
I got the bull bar just for parking lot assholes that like to hit bumpers while they parallel park.

Put a hitch step in for the same reason in the back.

Side steps work for cars on the sides.

And dash cam to catch them after they do it ?

Although letting someone smash my bumpers would be a nice excuse to the wife for a new front one with a winch.

I think it was Four Wheeler magazine that once defined a bull bar as “the thing that bends and breaks your headlight instead of the branch” ?
