Aries bull bar question??? ( no haters please!)

hey so i am looking into the Aries bull bars. i want to know what people think about the stealth series vx the reg 3" black bull bar. Supposedly its more corrosive resistant and a slightly different shape but i cant see a good picture on a taco. anyone have one?? its about 50 bucks different. so the real question is which looks better?

secondly comparing the Aries nerf bars 3" reg black vs the 4'' stealth is it worth the difference in price ??100 Bucks?

thanks!!

 

why did you say no haters? are the aries less popular for some reason than the westins? just curious cause im in the market for one too.

I have the aries now, had the weston on my first tacoma, imo, the weston looked better, i think its a bit different shape, just looked sleeker...and my aries has surface rust at all the welds, not impressed!

 

haters against bull bars lots of folks on here are hardcore offroaders and bash all bull bars. i just didnt want a bunch of "bull bars suck" posts that wouldnt help.

 

yeah i tried that but i cant tell if they are the stealth or the regular series a rep from car ID was chatting with me and said they do look a little different. but i haven't been able to compare them very well.....

its only 50 bucks different but i just wanted to see which looked better.

 

Bull bars suck.

I didn't realize Aries made 2 different ones. I had a black one on mine for awhile. IMO I always though the Westin and Aries looked identical minus the skid plate part.

 

see 2011streaker this is the type of reply that i was hoping to avoid pretty much useless to me.....

 

the aries sits more straight up and down, where the westin has a bit of a bend in it and also the black plastic covering the ugly welds...on the chrome anyways.. in ther words, I say go with the westin. its more expensive but looks better on our trucks!

 

do you not have a sense of humor? it was abvoiusly a joke as he went on to provide actual input on the topic... It's the internet and TW, you wont last long with thin skin around here

 

i got his joke which is why i fired back with sarcasm. I f i thought someone was being a real prick i would have ignored it. plenty of room on this forum for all opinions. nice thing about forums its you can take and pick the opinions that you like!!

 

what made you get rid of it? i think eventually i will get a real bumper but for now its more for looks than anything else. Aries has a new line out called stealth its supposed to be a top of the line line but the bull looks the same to me. the nerfs are 4 inch instead of 3.

 

Eventually decided I no longer liked the look anymore. My truck is actually on that google page of results. Mag gray truck in the backyard. Albeit my truck was mainly stock then and I eventually painted the skid black which I liked better.

 

just checked out your gallery nice truck. what did you use to do your front emblem? Did you remove it first? my wife has my truck i was going to paint mine today nd im trying to see if it comes off easy of if you have to do soem major surgery on the dumb thing. hard to tell when my truck isnt here!!!

 

Bull Bars suck...
But yeah I had one on my TRD Sport and loved it, Westin Chrome, I also like the fact that the black plastic covered the welds.
What color is your truck? Kinda makes a difference when your going Chrome vs black.
BTW my bull bar saved me a few thousand dollars in damage, turned the other guys truck into an accordion, their not all show!!!

 

I also had a stainless Aries but it was on a Silverado. It rusted on the welds too.

 

without a smiley face its hard to read sarcasm

seeing you only had a handfull of posts I was just tryin to help you out

 

sooooo you love things that suck??? LOL

Have have an indigo blue and i am blacking everything out NO CHROME!!! so black was my choice. wasnt a big fn of the plastic caps. I went with the stealth series supposedly better rust protection. glossy black. if she gets banged up i fig i cant lin-X it and it will stay black. if i ever get around to really off roading with this thing i will prob get a real bumper but for now a bull bar it is. i like the idea of it providing some protection! i have heard mixed reviews.

 

yeah i realized that i hadnt stuck one in there after i read your post i usually do b/c its hard to get the tone in a email/post. but i was watching the METS game while typing so i was distracted. thanks for looking out!!

BTW METS FTW!!!!!!!!!!

 

You should check out the bull bars from truckgeardirect.com I saved a good bit of money using this website and the bull bar looks just like the Aries.
