Bullbar or not ?
« on: September 21, 2005, 09:22:18 »
Do you think i should keep the bull bar or loose it ?
I cant decide,pros and cons please if you can help,also what do you think looks better.

Heres a pic of mine without and one with in my sig pic



I have also removed the spoiler as i ripped the first one off ,off roading then smashed another clean off a week ago and haven't bothered putting another back on.I prefer it with but i cant keep buying them just to rip em off so i decided to leave it without one.

cheers

 :(biglaugh): It looks a bit bare to me,i suppose its had the bull bar on ever since ive owned it so suppose it will.Looks tough with it on i think.
Looks like OFF is winning so far.

My vote is take it off... much cleaner lines as nature intended it :-)

Plus you don't have the extra weight on the front

i like a range rover with a nce smooth clean front but i have fond it not very practical, so i runa a home made bumoer with a simple bullbar on it, but if i didnt play in areas with lots of trees it would deffinatly be a tubular simple winch bumper.

also looks a lot more perhaps not very predictable and looks like a it will go anywhere!

Take it off, they only fold back onto the bodywork in an impact anyway.  They do keep brush away from the paint though i suppose (like we care about that).

Go both ways here, get it onto locking pins and then you can add or remove at your pleasure, depending on what you are doing :wink:

if you don't put it on, you may just have time to think of regretting it as you are sliding towards the tree/fence/gate.from experience my bull bars have justified there place many a time...... :D  :D  :D put them on you know it makes sense ...could save you £££££££££££££s too

Cant make my mind up now   :?
Good points for both.
Ive heard about the damage they can cause in a crash to the whole front end.But then it protects the front off road ,bushes branches etc.but then it is quite heavy so its a weight penalty with it on,but then i cant notice its any faster without it  :lol:
