hilux bull bar pics and advice needed

Post by Petemcc »

Dropped the hilux off at toms on the weekend to get some work done in a few weeks time. Now i need to decide on how i want the bull bar to look.

So far i think Im keen on something with a bottom half similar to petefj40s new bar but i don't like how the top slopes forward or down at the sides. would like a more ARB style top half.

I googled hilux bull bar in google images and most come up with off the shelf pics. Is there a thread like this around or one on another forum that someone can point me to?

Post some pics here of what you like and help me to make up my mind.

I think I also kind of like how this one has the checker plate covering in over the top but not too sure

Remember the one I had on my old surf pete, was a bit more upright and the bits going across the head lights didn't slope as much, same design can get even more upright/ tucked in.

Don't see why you couldn't put the top half of this bar onto the bottom part of the bar you posted up top?
