Got the Bull Bar at www.truckchamp.com. It's a Westin Ultimate Bull Bar for a Toyota 4Runner. I like it but probably would have been just as happy with the Westin Light Bar. Looks similar to the Bull Bar, but no skid plate and the tubing diameter is smaller. The skid plate is removable and I'm thinking of taking it off to see how it looks. BTW - the lights were free from Westin for purchasing the Bar - it was a special deal they had going on last summer.

Those wheels look great as well...gonna either do that or get some black rims.

Not sure about HID's. Sounds like quite a few folks, in my research, have problems with them. Plus they are damn expensive. I may upgrade the Aux lights on the Bull Bar to PIAA instead...

Thanks! Ordered!

I just ordered the one for the GX470, since I'm assuming the 2003-2004 is the same as the 2006-8

Update: The bracket for the 2003-04 fits my 06 just fine.

Bobinsofla, When you connect your aux lights, I would be interested in finding out where you are placing the internal switch, and what you are going to be installing for a switch. My last vehicle was a Land Rover Discovery II, and there were several blanked out switch locations, as well as you could buy factory switches that made for a very "original" look to the mod. I just haven't found a location in the GX that would allow me to do the same. Love the look of the GX with the bull bar and the aux lights, I just don't want to compromise the interior look with a cheap install.

nice look Bob....funny there was a 4-Runner with those wheels at my company the other day and I wondered how they would look on my Sanddollar pearl GX. Your blizzard pearl is close enough for a comparison. I'll have to keep an eye out.
