I know this thread is a few years old but I figured I would still ask. @bushpilot does your truck have the pre crash sensor I think it is called to right of the lightbar? I am thinking about getting the same light bar and wanted to make sure it was going to fit in the limited space available in the lower bumper.

Thankyou. I am going to be ordering that light bar shortly!

I drilled the plastic rivets out & installed a zRoadz bracket and 13 inch light bar.
I don't like the looks of the front plate but I'll be leaving mine on as the state requires it and I'd rather not give random opportunities to bored officers to pull me over.

Can you get it inspected in Texas without a front plate? I was stopped once (maybe 20 years ago?) for not having a front plate on my Bronco. Got a warning only. I put the plate and bracket back on after I found where it had drug off when I backed out of a hole on a right-of-way.

I've been ticketed once (warned 3 times) in 30 years....the one ticket (about 6 yrs ago) cost me $10 (temporary) fixed and showed the officer....otherwise it would have been $40 (total).
every time I conclude to the officer that the tag "must have fallen off"
