Hunter Bull Bar
Not sure if this is in the right forum, but here goes....
Does anyone have one of these and will it fit bigger than a 4.5" set of lights like the destcription says? Say maybe a 6" set of Daylighters? The picture of the one on the ranger looks like there is room. Just wondered if anyone has this bar and has measured for lights...

To answer your questions:
- My truck didn't have tow hooks so I'm not sure where they even go, but I'm assuming that they interfere with the mounting brackets that adhere to your frame. (All I know is that their website says they must be removed)
- Mounting/installation was piece of cake- I did it by myself in about the same time as the guy in the youtube video I posted below.

- Quality? Eh- It's good for knocking back brush and saplings that you will run over out on the trail. I wouldn't count on it standing up to a boulder or even using it to push another car around. It's basically a "brushguard" called a bull bar. For $169, it looks great, installs easy and will knock back any vegetation in your way. And the 6" lights mounted right onto it.
- I'd say, if you're going for that look and want a cool light bar for the front , then do it. I'm totally pleased with mine.
If you want a heavy duty bar thats going to bounce you off a granite boulder you better head to the Fab shop and just have one welded on :)
Hope this answers your questions

I guess if the tow hooks are bolted to the side of the frame, then that would interfere with the installation. However, if the bull bar utlizes the same holes as the tow hooks, I would think you could install both. there seemed to be enough play in the set-up of the bull bar to make it work.- Just my opinion..... Don't know if the bar interferes with the hooks.
