Take a look at the Waag center guard bull bar. It looks similar to their grille guard but a little shorter and no headlight guards.

I called around and was told that pretty much anytime you install a push bar you will have to remove the tow hooks on the F150's. Has any1 heard of this to be true? Does any1 have a push bar installed w/o removing the tow hooks? Because i really want a push bar , but dont want to sacrifice my tow hooks to get it.

Champ, with the installation of any grill guard, brush guard or push bar, you have to remove the tow hooks. On the trucks without tow hooks your have to cut holes on the bumper to get to the frame.

The Waag keeps the tow hooks. It's a little tough to see them in the pics, but take a look at my gallery.

I have the Westin full brush guard and still have the tow hooks. I think it's just the manufacturers design that would require their removal.

I was looking at this Westin Bull Bar and it says that I have to remove the tow hooks. I really like the gaurd though. Gonna have to think about it for a bit.

Yes, I'd like to see a picture of the '04 150 with the push bar or brush guard.
Would like to get something, I'm sure it would look good. Still would like to see a picture.

Here is my of with the Westin bullbar. I did remove my tow hooks but I hear from other users that you can fabricate some brackets to avoid this.
