the solution is simple boys.. bull bar + light bar

protect your front bumper and illuminate the backroads

I wish, while I love the idea of the additional protection along with a small lift, some rock sliders, steel skidplates, some 37s, a 50" lightbar on the roof, etc...the Suburban is my business vehicle as well as my personal vehicle and it's not quite the look my clientele around the wineries are looking for. The Hammerhead steel bumper may be purchased and painted a discrete white to blend in with the rest of the truck next spring though...I mean I can't argue with the added durability and having legitimate mounting points for fog lights.

I completely understand that, it’s a regional thing. Down south that’s exactly what they’re looking for lol

A body-matched bumper would be a good middle ground. Blends in with the rest of the truck but also adds practical safety and functionality.

Yeah I grew up wanting a truck with a big ass ram/bull bar, lights on a big chrome roll bar in the truck bed, a 14" lift with some 50" Superswampers...even though I grew up in an area with zero mud. The idea still appeals to me, but I've had ladies in short and or tight dresses or slightly inebriated ladies struggle to climb into the truck with no lift as it is so I'll leave her as close to stock as possible. At least until I buy a second truck to use for the business and this one goes back to being the family rig.

No bull bar for me either. Not the look I want for my Denali. Plus….. I was lucky enough to score a rare Denali down under grille for my truck not long after I bought my truck. And mine is the full piece that goes all the way across the lower opening. A bull bar would mean I’d have to mount the bull bar to the tow hook mounts and take the Denali down under grille off and I’m not doing that…. I like the Denali down under grille way too much. lol.

I was so confused when I read about your grill and then I figured out why. I somehow had no idea I was posting in the 2000-2006 threads, I swear sleep deprivation is a mind altering drug they haven't figured out how to regulate.
