Show us your pushbar
I want to install a pushbar on the front of my '05 X. I want it to be functional. I'm not a big fan of the euro style pushbars, I thinking more like Highway Patrol style.
Anyone have anything like that mounted? Maybe even with a winch?
Thanks in advance.

Don't need a pushbar on an Excursion.
Anything you hit is gonna move out of the way real quick .

I agree, but I actually want to use my pushbar occasionally. Be able to push things without damaging my bumper

I don't know if you've had the bumper off before but it's just as flimsy as the bumper on my Mustang. Very glad I got a new bumper.

Get a Ranch Hand. Full brush guard or a bumper, your choice.
They're very stout and will do everything you want it to do with no problem.

Those Reunels are good for when **** hits the fan. I'd definitely want to be hiding in an Excursion with one of three bumpers: Reunel, Ranch Hand, and South Texas Outfitters.
There's one down here that has a lift, Ranch Hand front and rear. It's sexyyyyyy. Makes me want to trade my truck for it.

Wouldn't these front bumpers obstruct air flow to the transmission cooler and/or oil cooler?
