Decided to go a different route for my offroad lights, so I took the bull bar off. This is the bar I bought from BigJ. So all the brackets are modified to clear the skid plate brackets. Also included are the tow hook relocation brackets and hardware. Note: you will need to notch the skid plate to clear the bottom of the bar bracket, and also cut out about 4" of the "silver mustache" where the tow hooks sit in the stock location.

The bar does have two battle scars, 1 from BigJ. and the other came from me when we hit a big jump at SBDR, but they are on the very bottom and not noticable unless you get under and look.

Thinkin $100 plus shipping for it all. If it is a more local seller, I would consider swapping skids if they were interested. (less cutting on thier part).
Ill get some close up pics of what the cuts on the bumper and skid look like in the next day or so

I thought about buying this from BigJ when he had it for sale. I checked it out at the south Dakota run on badgers scab. It looked great. I don't think anyone else is running a bull bar. A great way to make your truck even more unique.

Also, big J had an install thread too.

Thanks for the help on this Joe, pics dont really do justice on how it really looks, good to have sum1 whos seen it in person chime in. With that said. Im lowering asking price to 75 plus ship for an FRF member. gonna put it on CL once I get my laptop back from the shop, so it may go quick on there, since its made for a normal f150. Didnt 4get about the pics of the cuts on skid either. Wiatin on laptop for that too

How far away from the front bumper does this thing stick out. I am interested but its pretty tight with the Screw in the garage as is. I am also somewhat local to you (MKE area).

I don't have a measurement, but this is from back in the day when it was installed on my Raptor:

That pic from BigJ is a good angle. I also 're-drilled the brackets for the bar and had it Sitting right up against the two pod things on the bumper. The bar is 3" diameter, so adds 5-6" at the most. Installing that way also makes the tow hooks come out like a 1/2" farther than the bar itself. Was gonna have a buddy of mine weld some tabs on the tow hook brackets for d-ring shackles before I took it off the truck too, so u could go that route also.
