I like that. You also found a way to point out the 4 reasons ford sucks so badly and make it prevalent.

Looks good but what is the purpose or benefit of leaving the crossbars open in the middle of the bumper guard? ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/02/full-1274-414512-bumper_2.jpeg)

It is great workmanship, people are just joking around about the rest (mostly). Looks good but what is the purpose or benefit of leaving the crossbars open in the middle of the bumper guard? Addressed by B'eez above ^^^^ You also found a way to point out the 4 reasons ford sucks so badly and make it prevalent. All four letters in the name F***  My keyboard can't type it.
Pass the gravy.

It’s left open for the trucks with adaptive cruise and also just for looks. My gut told me it was a weak spot at first, but that [censored] ain’t bending. 1 7/8” OD pipe saddled into each other, all sch40.
I’m no die hard ford guy. The dodge before my 2015 ford made me a lot of money but cost me 3.5 transmissions. The L5P duramax I hauled stuff with was pretty gutless compared to the powerstrokes, so I’m gonna stick with them until they give me a reason not to. The dodge was almost in the discussion but I chickened out, I haven’t healed from the last one yet but I do hear they are a good bit more reliable than they used to be.
Bottom line is they all suck, pick your poison
