Bull Bar 2.5" or 3"

Hey Ya'll
I am looking at getting a bull bar...some sites say small/light duty trucks get 2.5 " tubing in their bull bar, where "full" size trucks get the 3".
Trying to look at photobucket pics from some of ya'll here and not sure which size you got... IS BIGGER BETTER? lol!!
Thanks everyone!

 

hey jen.......most of the bull bars that i have seen come only in 3inch for our tacomas. imo, they look better than the ones you can find in 2.5 inch. i just got my aries bull bar(3inch polished stainless)and it looks sweet(all except for the dent that happened during shipping....so im waiting to send it back for a replacement). here is a link to where i got mine from. imo, the aries look better than the westins....westins have black caps to hide crap welds, while the aries has ground and polished welds for a complete finish.

good prices, free shipping....check them out!!

 

Jen, I got the Aries as well. Here is a pic if you want to see how it looks installed. http://www.wormhole7.com/P1010014.htm
Just to let you know, it did drop the front end just a hair.

 

Thanks everyone! I will go with the 3", and now start looking for the best prices...Thanks for the links,too, it makes it easier.

 

Aries is definitely cheaper than Westin as far as price goes.

 

Yeah...I think I even like the looks of the Aries better, too. I have found some on ebay for around $200!

 

For $200 bucks, where! let me know, i'd like to order one as well.

aries polished stainless for $269 and black powdercoat for $216(i rounded them off) and they include free shipping.

i have seen alot on ebay for right around $200, but im not sure if shipping is free there or not!

 

With Westin and Aries you can only get a 3" bull bar. The 2.5" is only available for the older, smaller Tacomas.

 

Here you go Jen. Love my Westin 3" Bull Bar.

 

Order mine today!

 

Thanks everyone. TJO-your pic looks awesome...
I ordered my Aries off ebay and should be arriving today or Monday!
$200 incl S&H! Can't beat that. Can't install in until After Aug. 20th...busy with work, so pics to come shortly after!
