Bull bar options

Anyone have a bull bar on their 1st gen?

I see lots of options for the newer trucks, but few for ours. I'm really not into giving $300+ for a Westin, so I looked and looked and looked and found this one for $109

Its a wade

anyone have this on a tacoma? or know of any pictures?

 

that doesnt look too bad......kinda looks like a copy over of a westin bull bar. i know i have seen bull bars on the first gen. tacomas, just not alot of them. the 04 i got had the westin safari bar on it....looks ok, but when i get a brush guard eventually.......it'll be coming off.

not a bad price on that wade bull bar though.

 

Is this for looks or performance?

 

Well I drug the my front bumper recently, so I figured i'd buy one of these to save it in case something like that happens again. I want one that looks good though, If I didn't care what it looked like i'd just weld up something .

 

just gonna let ya know....these bull bars arent really gonna save the bumper from anything other than a very light impact, like maybe a bush or something. however, you can install the bull bar and weld the brackets and all in place(not to the frame, but make it kinda a one piece deal), and it will make it a bit more stout.

 

I know it's not a bull bar, but the N-fab prerunners look pretty sweet on 1st gen's.

 

I really like the looks of the shrockrocks winch bumper and bull bar combination, pricey, but I think it would look hot painted body color.

 

That's a sweet bumper. I did a google search and came up with nothing... link me!?

 

Its a Shrockworks, google that.

 

I did. The only thing I came up with was jeep forums LOL

I found it after clicking a link in one of the forum member's signatures

Speaking of Shrockworks, anybody got a pic of their 05+ bumper without the headlight guards?

 

I am in the same boat. I really want a Bullbar and actually prefer the black ones over the chrome (I like Black accents against my Impulse Red) for the Gen 1 Tacoma and I am trying to find something that doesn't cost $400 (I am on alittle bit of a budget - already getting the nerf bars, exhaust and possibly air intake)

 

you may be interested in the westin safari bar then!!! take a look in my gallery for the one i have on my 04!!

 

The chrome one that's in all your pix? With the lights?

 

no, thats an aires from the 06 that i had......this one here is the one im talking about......

and these are alot cheaper than the aires and westin bull bars!

 

I like that alot. If I may... you remember where you got it and did it come with the lights?

 

it was actually on the truck when i got it(gonna get rid of it later on and get a brush guard), but i can give you a link...............

also.....check ebay.......i have seen them on there for a really good price!!

 

Damn will, i would like that light bar on my truck, looks great... very simple and clean....

 

After lift, tires, and communication, guess what I'm doing.......

Shrockworks front bumper, center hoop only. That way I can have a winch and some AUX lighting. It will be black.
