Ford F-Series truck front end with black grille and chrome bumpe…

They're very subtle, but very functional; both as front recovery points, and also as steps. These brackets do NOT have light tabs above the bumper, but those would be easy to add. Other than folding down 2 flaps of the plastic air dam, the truck is not modified in any way, and no additional fasteners are needed. The only new fasteners are those for the recovery eyes.
