Bull bars

Absolutely, these cosmetic bull bars just wind up being damage multipliers in a real accident.

 

The tail light guards and brush guards are even worse. They actually act as a brush-catcher, and can push into the body causing paint damage. It’s much cheaper to just replace a tail light or headlight than paint a rear panel.
Although I don’t think the folks that run them see many trails. It’s more for the “look”. Which I don’t care for personally, because I know they are the complete opposite of functional.

 

Mine will never see trails but you can guarandamntee some jerk pulling out in front of me isnt gonna want this busting through his ass when I hit him. Ive always left my trailer hitch (Shin Killer) on for the idiot who rear ends me. All 3 times their shit was destroyed and I barely had a scratch! Nails their ass every time. Girlfriend hates it but ......

 

I like that one.
I just want it for the idiot's that don't know how to parallel park and love to back up until they hit your bumper. So that's the only function I need it for.

 

My truck had one on it when I purchased, the first thing I did to the truck was take it off, I thought it was butt ugly.


Now then, an after market quality steel front bumper, hell yeah!

 

Try the "front step"/ "skid plate" bar . . . I think that it's OEM. If you search for borla skid plate on ebay or Amazon for Tundra, it comes up. There are also smaller 'light bars' that can act as a subtle bull bar. I am going with the borla step though.

 

This is my “bull bar”. Hitting a deer is a real possibility in my home state. I used the stock fog light wiring harness to power the 4 18 watt leds. I have a pair of 288 watt leds to go on the hoop but I haven’t installed them yet.

 

I like that bumper. What brand is it?

 

I got the same bumper ( DV8) mounted on my 2017 DC BECAUSE of a deer. Hit one going to work and was a lot cheaper to buy this bumper than it was to fix all the damage. Love this bumper ( about 550$ on eBay with free ship) only thing I haven't done is mount a winch

 

I got the winch just because the tray was included in the SV8 purchase price.

 

Do you have a pic of the Lund...that's exactly what I am looking for, keep the tow hoks and the front sensors. I want make sure I. Buy the right ones, for a 2016 crewmax limited 4x4
