Police style push bar?

I know GoRhino makes them, but only for the 01-04 Tacos. BlackHorse also makes them but only for 98-04. I have a 97! WTF!! Anyway, does anyone know of any other push bars like these? Or does anyone know if the GoRhino/BlackHorse push bars would fit with some cutting/welding/drilling? Here are some pics if anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about.

 

Do you want one for protection or looks?

 

Honestly, more for looks. But I would definitely use it if the time ever comes.

 

I wouldn't push a branch with one of those. They aren't made for pushing anything, it'll bend back and break your grill or mess up your front bumper; they are made 100% for looks. Just FYI for you OP

 

Those brands I named or a push bar in general?

 

Any "push bar" for tacomas.

 

What about police cars? They definately use them and I think theirs are welded to the frame or something

 

Damn.

Well I guess I can believe that. I read somewhere that roll bar manufacturers now have to call them "bed bars" or something like that because supposedly they don't hold up for shit in a rollover. Still though... I kinda want one.

*a push bar, that is.

 

I had a Smittybilt one similar to that and I hit an owl one night headed to work and bent it up....so I now have an arb...

 

Police push bars are actually made for Police only. They are built much more sturdy and welded to the frame, not just 4 tiny bolts.

 

Wow, that's embarassing for Smittybilt... That ARB's gotta be treating you right though right?

 

Ranch Hand is another option.

 

Just checked their site and apparently they don't sell stuff for tacomas?

correction: don't sell stuff for 1st gens

 

Had a go rhino on my 99 and have one on my 03. Are you sure they don't make one for the 95-97? I don't see any reason they wouldn't work for all first gens.

99


03

Also you have a 3rd option. Check out Warn.

Here it is on a tundra

 

That's why police use em to ram cars?

 

Read my other posts on this thread

 

Go rhino makes the ones that go on the police tahoes...

 

Not the ones i've seen. My neighbor is a cop and he said they are specially made tougher There is no way a westin bull bar or a go rhino "push bar" will actually protect a car during a PIT maneuver or pushing anything.. My friend got backed into in a small parking lot (under 5mph) and his got bent back and damaged the bumper.

 

Cuz it was a Westin bar, apples to oranges. The tahoes around here use go rhino, I know because I was in the police academy. If it's good enough for them, its good enough for me.

 

True but they mount the same way, meaning they will bend back into the stock bumper.
