Bull bar

hey guys so I just got myself a bull bar. I just want to know if it's easy to install and what tools I'll need?
Thanks

 

Couple sockets and a wrench, I would guess.

No instructions?

 

It should be here tomorrow or friday

 

dont do it.

 

Why not?

 

Just keep in mind its pretty much a lightbar, and will decrease approach angles.

As long as you are ok with that, you should be a happy customer.

 

Quick Google search and found this for ya https://youtu.be/6ykbD14yTds

 

Not a popular mod around these parts. They are known as accident damage multiplyer's.

 

How so?

 

As others have said: approach angle will be diminished ("angle of attack" illustrated in this photo).

It's your truck, so mod it with what you like and enjoy it!

 

I'm just trying it out for a week and if I like it I'll keep it, if not I'll return it. I guess I'll wait and see. But thanks for the explanation haha

 

From what I heard in a front end collision it's design causes the bull bar to get impaled into your engine bay causing more damage.

 

Yes, the support is minimal, so in an accident, they usually fold back and do more damage as the steel hoop crushes ur front end.

 

I and many others have already tried explaining this in your "bull horn" thread.

 

but as @Tsinajinii said, its your truck and mod it as you wish.

 

Unless its made by an australian, i would take the term "bullbar" loosely

 

after viewing the 2nd post in that thread.... I now want a "bull horn"

 

installation is a fast one man job

 

Although it may look cool, it really serves no purpose. Itll only protect you from shopping carts.

Like someone earlie said, in a real accident it'll bend into you front end and do damage that may not have occurred if you didn't have it.

 

They can work as a lightbar
