Damage done is almost never to the object rather the bull bar bending back into the soft molding and plastic facia of the vehicle. At best they are mounting positions for lights. Google around I’m not the only person with this conclusion. A real bull bar that is actually designed to toss cattle is insanely heavy. If you can lift a bumper off the ground with one arm I would question the products ability to protect your vehicle.

FWIW, - NOT a bull bar - once upon a time, I hit a deer at about 75 mph with the crash bar mounted on the front of my F150. it came with the truck; I'd always assumed it was "recreational/cosmetic". There was no damage to my truck, the crash bar was pushed back almost to the fender on the side I hit the deer on. I don't know about bull bars, but apparently some of these products actually work. I have a serious one on my 04 4x4 SSV expedition now, it's a police push bar.

So, I finally found a "round to it" and got my light bar mounted. I stumbled across this license plate mount on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075CHHWXY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had to reduce the angle on the mount (bend it) to get the light (Nilight 20")
mounted level due to the bumper not being vertical. I may have to tweek it after I try it out tonight. A different light bar may have more adjustment. Just thought I'd update this thread.
