Barricade XHD Bull Bar with 20-Inch LED Light Bar (04-25 F-150, Excluding Raptor)

This was my first bull bar install, and I will say, removing the boots that were around my towhooks was the most time consuming part of the install, the bull bar itself went on easily with common tools and I think it looks awesome. I went this route due to the light being mounted higher up, and there being a big opening for airflow.

I looked at bars for months before deciding on this one. At first I thought I would get the usual chrome bar but, my F-150 already had a lot of chrome in the grill area. So when I saw this one, the different shape and black color contrasted so much better with my silver spruce truck. I also liked that the LED light was on the top bar, not the bottom. Even my wife, who thought the bar unnecessary, thought it added a lot to the vehicles appearance.

Was simple to install and the video helps a lot. If you’re ocd like me you’ll need a measuring tape to position/angle your bull guard as desired. As for installing the switch wire, I carefully cut a small opening on my harness grommet(on the fire wall)to slide my switch wiring through into the cab. It’s a tight squeeze to push the wiring through. TAKE YOUR TIME.
I have been asked by 3 people so far where I purchased my guard and I truly admire the look it brings to my truck.

Super easy to install. If you don't have tow hooks you'll need to do some cutting. I used a heavy duty box cutter with a new blade. Take your time and cut a little, then check the fit of the bracket, etc. Cutting took most of the time. 20 minutes to install the guard.

Good product. 20/20 hindsight of course. Would have done things a little differently regarding the tow hook surrounds. I live in the snow belt and with those are completely removed, it exposed the front frame. Will get another set and retro fit them back in I hope.
