In my humble opinion
All bull bars do is make sure any small collisions create maximum damage

And that is attached to the top grill bracket (has 4 torx screws holding it down)?

There is a plastic beauty plate covering the gap I took that off and I bolted into something underneath I might be able to look later when I get home

No need. I know that piece. (Changed my grill earlier this year). I'll set it back far enough to clear that center bracket. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated.

Which is kinda useful if you bump into fences, grocery carts, or "no parking whatsoever" signs

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.

Most bumpers today are lightweight. I can lift the entire front bumper of my 2000 explorer with one hand. Of course that makes it a lot easier to get on and off to. [emoji16]
