Warn makes some really nice lights. A little spendy though, almost $400.00, but they are sweet. Go to Warn.com.

Great products manufactured by a awsome guy. True the price is high.. BUT LOOK AT THE QUALITY! I just talked to him again yesterday.

I was abit skeptical about the strength of the whole bumper but it looks like it's proven it-self. Anyway if your looking for the whole front bumper this is what I'd go with.

Hmm.....looks like a Jersey plate....

Front license plates do suck, but i have yet to get a ticket for not having mine on my truck. If they ask, i pull out the crumpled mess that used to be my front plate from under my seat.

You know Wayne Hanson said the same thing about the licsense mount.
I look at it this way. Front Licsense plate Req'd in CA. If you do not have it, it is just another excuse for a cop to pull you over. My thing is I do not want the excuse cause you never know what they might think or find. I am usually guilty of something at times.

By the way it is a CA plate.

Doing pretty good if that is all thats not to like about the bumper.

Never late for a Tee time or meeting my buddies to go wheelin'! Always ready for both!

I went with Warn SDB-160HB's. As mwillis61 stated, they are a little pricey (~$380 @ 4-Wheel Parts), but I love their two-way ability. I can flip them to driving lights when creeping along trails at night & get an awesome spread of light, or push the in-cab button to put them in spot mode to get that further-out, light-up-the-road illumination.
