That actually looks really clean. I am usually not a huge fan of bull bars or brush bars, but that one is nice.

How close does it get to the body panels/paint?

Oh man! I'm just getting over another post from upgrading the tow hooks!
Now I see this one which is so crisp and looks so rally!
Oh man! I'm going for a drink now I can't take it.

Just ordered and installed this brush bar guard from CAtuned. I think it looks slick and doesn’t have all the hassle of a bumper replacement. Uses the factory front tow hook position and bolts.

@Max94 , does this integrate with the oem
Or aftermarket tow hook? Or iis it one or the other?

Max94 said:

So you just unbolt the factory to hooks and use the factory bolts right into the same holes. You can’t see it in the photos but there are what looks like built in slots to put tow straps or shackles

Oh so this replaces the tow hooks. If the installation of this integrates the tow hooks then I'm all in. If it replaces the tow hooks, I will upgrade and keep the red oem Toyota tow hooks.

I just went to their website for the bush bar and it does in fact replace the tow hooks, so the hooks have to be completely removed to put the bar on.

So now we're faced with what is more important to be able to get pulled out off of Snowy Road or have a Bush bar with some really expensive flood lights, those things in the photograph are almost $500 a piece and that does not include the wiring kit or the security Bolt kit.

I'll probably put my money into a roof rack basket and a awning for outdoor camping..

Thanks for looking into that. I agree. I wll be upgrading my tow hooks to the oem Reds and will spend rhe extra $$$ when I no longer have any use for my oem rails and crossbars which came stock with my Runner.
