Bull bar suggestions anyone?

Looking for a black bull bar/ brush guard for 2011 trd. Any goood brands/building options? any tips would be awesome

 

Unless you're buying the bar to protect the front end of your truck, you might consider buying a light bar instead...less bulk, less $, and less weight on the front end. Otherwise, no suggestions on brand here.

 

A lot of people on here roll with the Avid Offroad Bar... it looks wicked, but the downfall is it does NOT come painted... http://www.avidoffroad.com/products/05-tacoma-products/light-bar/

As far as bull bars go, the Westin is a nice one... I used to have it on my last Taco, and really liked it... http://www.autoanything.com/grille-guards/77A1769A3039149.aspx?kc=ffsku

 

X2....even then, the way most bull bars are mounted, they won't do much to truly protect the front end

 

Word, thanks brah. Light bar looks like the way to go for me. Those aries say you have to request bracket placement for lights. anyone have pics of their set up?

 

X2 on the Avid lightbar http://www.avidoffroad.com/products/05-tacoma-products/light-bar/

Just say no to the truck toboggan .

 

Toboggans is for kids

 

Smitty-built light bar (same as N-fab).

 

I'z just a big kid

 

LOL

 

I have the Aries bar and painted the skid plate black. I think it looks decent. May in the future end up switching to the Avid bar. Although part of me just wants to go get a new front bumper. We'll see.

 

X2! Smitty-built is great! I use to a bullbar and loved it. Got rid of it to change things up. Bullbars aren't that bad, idk why everyone freaks out abt them

 

Aries bull bars here! They look great, but y will be surprised how thin they are! For sure just for looks

 

avid light bar.

 

Smittybilt !!

 

It's really all up to you, for christmas i got a westin bull bar and i really like it.

 

Have any of you painted the bar?

 

i personally dont care for the look of any of the aftermarket bumpers, and a bull bar will do less dmg than just rear ending a guy anyways...... everyone should have full insurance anyways

i went w/ the avid bar i got an e-mail today saying they had started construction, so maybe a week or two till i see mine. and than straight to the powder coaters for some loving

 

Avid all the way!!!
