Came to $176.65
It's a great, sturdy push bar, the only problem is there's not much room for lights.
If you find my other posts, you'll see the current problem I'm having trying to fit 6" KC lights on the bar.

It's cheaper than a $400+ one piece, so I got this one instead. I wish I got the one piece though, it's bigger and looks nicer.
It was fairly easy to install. The only trouble was removing the front grille to access the bumper bolts, in which I didn't have the torque bit for so I had to borrow one from my neighbor. Even then, they were so rusted trying to get them out was a real job. I was afraid I was gonna slip and crack the radiator. Then when I put the grille back on I snapped the 2 clips on the side off, but it's screwed in anyway so it doesn't make a difference. I would've took more time and been more careful, but the bumper bolt situation took about an hour and I was already late for work, so I kinda did a sloppy job.
But I have to wait to order the brush guard attachments. I need $1,700 for next college semester. I had a little over $2,000, but I spent a bunch of it on my truck and now I have $1,551.49. So I need to put a paycheck onto my debit card so I can pay for next semester. Bad situation, haha.

This is a nice center bar becuase it's very thick, but on the other models I like the brush guards because they have those extra grills to them to protect the lights. The attachements for this center piece is only like a rectangular tube and it looks pretty cheap. I can probably make it myself out of cheap pipe.
