Advice for 2WD bullbars
Posted: Sat, 28 Sep 2013 2:58 +0000
So, I recently got my hands on a 2007 RWD Hilux Workmate, which wiped the bank clean.
First upgrade I'm looking at is fitting a bullbar, as this vehicle will be primarily used for doing longer drives and night driving, while we use my girlfriend's sedan around town.
I'm looking for something that won't get busted hitting a roo/emu, won't break the bank (when it's filled again) and will still allow me to have some grunt/won't ruin my suspension (I only have a 2.7 EFI engine).
Any advice on where to look, what to look out for, rough prices, etc?
So far I haven't had much luck trying to track down 2WD bullbars with the options I know about being TJM, ECB and Tuff.
I've seen all the arguments about Steel V Alloy bars, but can someone break down what the real difference is in terms of weight and the flow-on impacts that they would have to my vehicle.
Cheers
