All about Bull Bars
Bull bars are metal devices made of bent tube. They attach to the holes located under the front fascia. The main purpose is to protect the vehicle front fascia in minor front-end collisions.
The short answer is ‘yes’. You can put a bull bar on any car, truck or SUV as long as there is a bull bar model available for this vehicle. If no, you can have the bull-bar custom-made for the specific vehicle application.
The only difference between mounting a bull bar to a car and to a truck is the type of mounting. While trucks have got frame to mount a bull bar, SUVs and cars require installation of the bull bar to the body. This difference, however, does not influence the installation process.
Brush guards or grille guards are used for front end protection of trucks in minor front-end collisions. Unlike bull bars, brush guards protect not only the truck bumper, but also grille and headlights. Sometimes brush guards may be used just for aesthetics.
90% of American bull bars are bolt-on and do not require any mods to the vehicle. So, you do not have to drill or cut anything to get the bull bar installed. Usually you will need to find pre-drilled holes in the frame of your truck, bolt mounting hardware to them and then bolt the bull bar to the mounting hardware.
The short answer is ‘yes’, as bull bar installation is a pretty simple DIY project. You will not need any sophisticated tools or any special skills to install a bull bar on your car or truck. In average, you can save around $300 by installing a bull bar by your own and not paying to the shop.
