    Im looking to dress up my Tacoma TRD and thinking about a Good quality SS Bull Bar for front protection and looks?
    Looking for opinions!
    Also will the Bull Bar keep my air bag from deploying?
    Thanks Ted

    You can call me Susan if it makes you happy.
    the "bull bars" your thinking of do little in the way of protection, in fact they normally add to the damage. Look up the avid light bar, its surprisingly beefy for its name.... If your wanting major protection your going to need a full replacement bumper

    And no, your airbag will still deploy
