    I want to get a black bull bar for my 20 Tacoma but I want one that you don’t have to cut any plastic parts to install. Anyone know one that is just bolt on?
    Thanks

    Members here (as well as I,)will tell you to stay away from bull bars. They aren't good for anything other than holding lights and multiplying the damage in a front end collision.

    The absence of anything up front for protection is the damage multiplier. Make sure you go 3in. None of the bendable 2in. bar. Had to lose the air dam for mine to fit.

    I have the Westin, bolted right on. Too bad you are not in NC. I am taking it off and selling it soon.

    Everyone says damage multiplier but if you wreck you wreck. It saves you in low impact. If you are going fast, bar or not you are going to have damage.

    ARB is what you need if you need it.

    You also have to lift the truck to accommodate the added weight of the bumper.

    Oh look, another mod....
    This^^. In low speed crashes, bull bars & grille guards will save you from damage. But at high speed, you're gonna get damaged no matter what you have in front of your truck.
