I'm not a fan of it either but I thought it was cool that it's made from aluminum in the sense that it's easier on the front suspension. Some of the trucks I see with large bumpers/grill guards make the front end sag, looks like it's tired.

Driving all over town looking all shiny like Michaels truck with 200 pounds of chain from the titanic and a tow truck hook on the end. You know that chain nor the 4wd will ever be put into use

Personally I think so. Plus there is the fact that pitting and erosion are a thing if it isn't powdercoated or if it is done badly (like on my bumper). Aluminum is soft and enough back roads or branches hitting it and it will look like crap. You'll go from a nice truck to a 50 yard truck.

Guess you gotta keep your tire chains somewhere. Maybe should have put the hooks a little higher so they don't drag the ground or slip-and get caught under the front wheels and rip the front end off

yes they do, I may have to contact owner and check them, haven't seen that EX around here before. I'd get them but I doubt they would fit with the stock suspension.
