LOL! You are right.

I thought about a bull bar but they don't really do much. They are more cosmetic than anything else. I thought about making a light bar, but I eventually want to try making my own bumper with a built in winch eventually. And mounting expensive lights that could get stolen or destroyed in a 2 mph bump did not appeal to me. So this was what I came up with. What I REALLY wanted was a grill with cutouts for the lights. I would have made one if I could have found some cheaper zinc bars that I wanted or had the supplies to weld aluminum. But then I'd have to mount to the grill rather than the truck, then the hood gets heavier, and then I have to buy bigger gas struts to lift the hood and keep it up, and so on...
No engine temp problems so far, but I haven't been driving that far since I put them on. This weekend might be a better tell when I drive a few hours down to South Texas to meet up with rarjar. Course, it's cool in Texas right now so any real tests will have to wait until our Texas summer. I don't foresee any real problem. The grille is so open and the lights are more than 2 inches away from the condenser.
It's probably still better than having one of those EG wire mesh bolt over grilles on the truck.
