SteelCraft Bull Bar w/ Skid Plate, opinions plz

looking at purchasing this for my 06 taco and would like to see some pics and would like some opinions if you have one on your truck. thanks.

 

Most people on here are going to tell you they look horrible, but it's your truck so do what you want.

 

I have a Westin and am really happy with it. I know it offers little protection to the front, but I think it looks good.

 

Truck Toboggan!! I think they look alright and provide a place to mount fog lights. Overall, I'm neutral on bull bars. Your truck, do what you want. You're going to get mixed reviews here.

 

Lots of people like the Avid light bar.

 

I also wanted a bull bar, but think I have decided on an Avid light bar. I think it looks better IMO, but I think the steelcraft looks good also.

 

thanks for all the info. i do know they offer little protection but for lights and looks, i like them. i havent seen any other besides this one and the custom bumpers... until now. where can i find an avid light bar?

 

Vendor section - Avid Offroad. TW members get a discount. Check out their vendor page and you'll see how to apply the discount and all that fun stuff.

 

you could just buy my push-bar/lightbar with stainless steel skidplate i built ;p , how much are those bullbars you are looking at?

 

well the steelcraft bar is $180 shipped and the avid i believe is around $380. how much are you selling yours for? i really like it! i just want something simple and clean. ive only got a 2.5" spacer lift and 285/70/17's so id like to touch it up a bit with a nice bar and some lights.

 

well this is the 3rd one i've made for my truck and people keep buying them off me for around 300 without the lights, 400 with the lights mounted and wired. the avid ones look way sick but they only mount on the bottom; the one i built mounts to the frame on the bottom like the avid and bullbar but also has brackets through the lower grille area that mount to the frame also, its a beast

 

i dont do any wheelin in my truck yet so im really just looking for something that gives the front end some spice. im gong to do the headlight mod when i get home and make them black... i do like your bar, alot, however, its a little too much for just what im looking for. thanks for the info tho.

 

Here is the first one i built that is on my buddys truck now its kind of hard to see on the black truck but its basically the same as the one on mine but is not boxed or powdercoated its just plate steel whereas i box welded mine about 2" wide. I can built one of those for cheaper if you are at all interested. Probably ship it to your door for $250
