Undercover winch mount with bull bar

I like the bull bar with LED, but not sure about the KC's. It's a little dark in the photo, I'll get another farther away

 

Give me your opinions. Simple answers only, please:
No bull bar
Bull bar with LED only
Looks ok with both sets of lights

 

No bull bar.

All those bolt-on's defeats the purpose of that sweet undercover winch tucked inside that bull bar.

 

Like the clean look without the bull bar.

The LED and especially the KCs look vulnerable when off roading.

 

I prefer the cleaner look, this is how I decided to go.

 

No bull bar. Never seen a bull bar do anything but get bumped and trash the front end.

 

No bull bar is definitely the way to go.

 

No bull bar.

 

Well, I like it with the KC's but not the LED. Although, the LED is a better choice for illumination.

Bull bar looks OK but they are always a big hunk of steel hanging out there.

Obviously, you are doing off-roading with having a front mount permanent winch. I agree with others that especially the side mount KC's will cause the most problems and get destroyed in a winch situation.

Just my two cents.

Cool truck.

Just to clarify why I was trying the bull bar, 1. I already had it 2. I can't find a decent light mount for a 2015 that won't block grille opening, as the winch pretty much blocks the entire bottom opening and 3. Idiots around here think it's funny to free spool peoples winches and pull the cable out when you park at places.
I'll probably stick with the bull bar for the time being and most likely remove the KC's, as you can't even tell they are on with the LED bar. Plus, I don't use it as a "push bar"
Maybe, I'll check on making a better way to mount the LED, I have some ideas?

 

Is it just me or is the bull bar kinda crooked? The driver side looks like it is sitting higher.

 

Check out N-Fab, I think this would look good on your truck

yes, I need to straighten it out, need to finish some stuff out on the install, yet

 

Looks like there wouldn't be enough room to stick a hand in there to free spool winch?

 

Bull bar with LED, naked(no lights or anything), and with LED and bracket I was toying with(it will be painted and touched up if I go with it).

 

I like #1.

The bull bar looks great from straight on, very aggressive. Where it goes south for me is the side view, they do not have a good looking profile!

I had to cut an access hole on my 09 for free spool knob, I also worry about some idiot doing just that, of course I leave my dash cam running so if they do I at least will have a shot of their mug for the police, not that it would do any good. I am still thinking about changing out my Hella's for one large LED bar because prices are dropping and they are brighter as well as use less power.

 

This is how it sits now. I have a 30" LED on L-brackets bolted(tamper proof mounting bolts) to the front of the undercover winch face. I can reach in and turn my freespool knob this way. I had a light bar mount, but it takes too much space in the opening and cannot reach in there. It's solid and can be easily removed if for some reason bumper cover needs to come off.

 

Nice! My question, what package comes with chrome plated turning side mirrors? Never seen that

 

Tacoma Limited, also has leather and the JBL system w/subwoofer
