Is this considered trashy? I'm personally starting to think Bull Bars might be the GOAT exterior truck accessory.

For your troubles.

That's a brush guard. It's just a decoration for posers.

Get a full steel bumper like an arb.

They're played out now. The cool kids are putting eye lashes over their headlights these days.

Bullbars are garbage damage multipliers. Tap something with it, and it will fold into your condensor.

Don't be a pussy, get a plate bumper.

some slapdick ran into the back of me a few months ago...only messed up some plastic on my explorer, but bull bar on the front of his truck rolled back into his radiator and fricked up a world of shite.

Exactly this. All it's good for is showing people that your rig is a mall crawler. Hit anything substantial and it is gonna cause way more damage that if it wasn't even there.

They're good for helping protect your winch on the trails. If you don't have a winch then yes, it's a radiator smasher.

Just make sure that you balance out the look with truck nuts on the other end of your ride.

Please tell me how a thin ornamental piece of crap protects a winch.

I'm not sure what you're calling a bull bar but the front bumper on my Jeep came with a 3 inch diameter pipe that fit around my winch. I've even used it as a pulling anchor point before. It helped to keep tree limbs and such from slapping against my winch.

But then again I did real off-roading. I doubt you know what that is like.
