    You could mount an angled bracket with self tapping screws on the cross bar or skid. I was debating it myself.

    In case someone else has this question the Hella 500 lights don't obstruct the license plate from looking straight at it. From an angle the lights can obstruct it but I am confident it is good and am going to roll with it don't see any problems with it really. :thumbsup:

    I’m also wanting to add a bullbar to my 2019 Tundra TSS. Any luck finding one that doesn’t interfere with the sensors on the crruise control?

    I am not a fan of them. Some of them look decent with an off road bumper. Just my opinion.

    I love bull bars, what i didn’t like was the modular design, how flimsy or thin walled most were... I wanted a bull bar that could actually take out a bull and keep on trucking, so I dabbed my own. It’s ugly but its tough. I took the tow hooks off then mounted them back on using the same bolts. I had the hooks chromed since I had them off.

    Lots of shenanigans.
    Idk if it’s already been addressed before but I had a friend who had a bull bar on her Pathfinder. She got into a car accident and the bull bar went straight into her engine. I personally don’t like them and they’re tacky.

    been thinking about one of these. I think it looks pretty badass. Need to protect the front too (been rear ended 3 times by effin people on their phones, so there is a huge Tyger step in my trailer hitch now)

    Just mount it in the bumper and save the money on a bar. More labor but less money spent.

    You ever seen a car his a gator? I saw a girl right after she hit one in her Expedition. She hit a 10+ footer, and her ride had to be totaled.

    Not that a bull bar saves her there, just that you should be equally, if not more, terrified than our northern friends.

    I stopped all debate after I looked at crumple zones. Far more more important than looks for me, so I aborted.

    Both of those you list were at the top of my list, until I realized that I was passing all that kinetic energy from any crash. Just no way I wanted my family absorbing more than Toyota had intended.

    Unless the bumper works with crumple zones and crash sensors, you are making the drive more dangerous. I haven't seen one like that yet.
