I think subtle, and not over-the-top.

I did one purely for looks, definitely adds to the appearance IMHO

Because this is about opinion.

Love the look when they don’t extend more than 1/2 up the grill.

Look like hell beyond that point.

Yes, inexpensive and very easy install
How high up the grille does it extend, is it at at the middle of the headlights? Kinda hard to tell from pics. And how forward does it extend, up to the edge of the bumper or less than that? Thanks

I like em if they are part/welded onto the bumper. I’m not a fan of most of the bolt on ones

My taste varies though. I like the Rugged Ridge one from SEMA, looks like a battering ram, but also like the lower profile ADD Stealth and VPR has a decent one as well

What’s everyone’s thoughts on bull bars?
I've heard them called "damage multipliers" because that's what they'll do to your vehicle in a crash.

Plus, they can interfere with airbag deployment and the insurance companies don't like that.

I like the looks. Eventually will get a winch, but for now since I have the aux switches I figured I needed to put a couple of lights on. Have to admit though not really a fan of the looks of a true "bull bar".

I really like the look of those Mopar beautiful accessory lites on top of a bull bar, but this basically eliminates any sort of overnight parking, such as at a nice hotel. One $2 torx driver, a dirtbag user of same, plus maybe 2 to 3 minutes of theft time, and Poof, $500+ in accessories gone! Not sure such expensive Mopar accessories would even survive a 25 minute parking stop at Costco, particularly if parked a ways away from the store at a far corner of their massive lot, such as typically (if not always) happens on Saturday afternoons. Arrgggh...

This is a true concern. I would probably use some lock-tite to make it a little more discouraging for the potential thief

Better yet would be a security brand like Mcgard that makes locking bolts.

To each his own, but if you need to push a bull out of the road one day, you'll be happy you have one!

I guess on mall crawlers it's called a shopping basket bar ;)
