Bull Bar ?.. with Toyota Skid plate

I Have a O9 Tacoma with a skid plate from Toyota dealer.
Can i ad a Aries Bull Bar on top of my original Toyota skid plate or i have to remove it ?

 

bump..im curious as well

 

Im not sure, my buddy has a Westin Bull bar on his but, no skid plate. He was talking about wanting to get one, but he didn't say if he'd have to take the bull bar off or not. Good question though, wish I could help. But IMO the skid plate wouldn't be seen so I wouldn't think that it would hurt having it on there.

 

Judgin by your pictures and where my buddies is on his frame, your skid plate would have to come off.

 

dont get a bull bar. youre just gonna end up selling it

 

eh i still like mine sure it doesn't do much when you slam into something but i don't need a man bumper...besides my coils couldn't take anything else

 

don't know about the aries, but for the westins, the black factory skid can stay on, but the silver one that comes on the off roads will have to come off.

people will tell you not to get a bull bar because they aren't functional (except for mounting lights). 90% of the time, i agree, but it has saved me a couple times. biggest save being off road one time, the truck slid to the side further than i expected in a rocky section. the whole front end was being held up by the skid that is part of the bull bar. saved my bumper, left headlight, and probably my grill.
i know that has nothing to do with your question, jsut thought i'd add

 

i bought a toyota silver skid plate and westen bull bar for my 09 trd and they both fit on with no mods

 

^^^ seems like the westin site is incorrect then...thanks for catching that

 

bullbars suck!

 

On my 07 Offroad the factory skid plate and tow hooks stayed on when the Westin Bull Bar with front plate was mounted.

 

Bull Bars are so last year go with a light bar from avidoffroad.com great prices and you can push a car with it heavy duty bro i tried it haha be for the powder coating here is a pic of it before PC!

 

not sure about aris but with westin the skid plate and tow hooks do not have to be removed

 

X2, run forest, run, don't buy the bull bar. not a bull bar, fan.

 

"Bull Bars are so last year go with a light bar from avidoffroad.com great prices and you can push a car with it heavy duty bro i tried it haha..."

Like M_O_T said... Why not get the Avidoffroad.com light bar? Looks good, is about the same price as the bull bars, and is functional... And there is definitely no need to remove skids or tow hooks!

 

Those Avid bars looks terrible! Looks like toothpick rapped around the front bumper!
You guys must be on commission!!!
I'm glad to hear that they r functional... At the least y have this much.

 

I have a westin bull bar and was thinking about getting the factory skid plate, do you see any real advantage to having it? I know the westin skid plates is really just for looks but I only really do some light off roading.

 

I agree they look awful... I wouldn't have one on a nice looking truck. Of course if I wanted a truck to do some serious off-roading then looks aren't important. The more dented and scuffed up the paint the better, as I wouldn't care if a new scratch or dent got added then.

 

Bump!!!

Anyone try a Weston bullbar with the new 2015 factory skid plates ?
