However in RESEARCHING I found only the WAG mounted to the frame and did not kill the approach angle. Ryan's brand looks to be like most others that mounts to the radiator brackets, it may even have supports back to the bumper, IDK. However even if it has the brackets you will push back the radiator into the fan even in a minor accident or rip off the bull bar when trying to winch and most likely damage the radiator. :wallbash:

Actually, the WAAG mounts to the same place as countless other bull bars do, the rad supports. It just has its lower support arms run through the bumper, instead of under it, so there is less of a lever arm on the brackets, allowing the brackets to survive a frontal load only a bit better than others.
