Yes, I put one on my truck about 2 months ago. It looks good but I had a problem with the brackets and they had to send new ones. The top brackets hook over the frame where it attaches to the bumper and they give you a metal plate with spacers to attach the bottom. The top brackets just lay across the top of the bumper. I will have to paint mine. It is very sturdy but I am not crazy about the light tabs. The install was a pain, if I had it to do over again, I think I would opt for a full bumper replacement like a ranchhand or something comparable. Also, it is a very close fit with opening and closing the hood. Just my $. 02.

I don't have any yet, I will try to take some this weekend and post them. It does not mount to the towhooks and mine are still on. I will post some pictures so you can see what I mean.
