one word of caution here: i met a guy at buses by the arch up near st. louis
who had these on his camper. he said the shipping was almost as much as the
cost of the bars! :( plus, the vertical supports (for the headlight
protector) were kinda ...well ... flimsy. they flexed a lot, side-to-side.
he did NOT have the winch on his bus. :)


so it's NOT a real bull-bar where you can push things. but it would keep the
bushes from whacking your lights and maybe keep a rock or two from hitting
the lights. if you were going to alaska, it would be a good idea for rock
protection, i think.
