Off-Road Readiness: How Bullbars Contribute to Adventure-Ready Vehicles
A four-wheel drive gives you the freedom to explore unchartered terrain, drive through low riverbeds with ease, and still be a handy run-around, pick-up-the-necessities vehicle. Adding a desirable accessory in the form of bullbars not only enhances the exterior but also provides a level of safety when adventurous trails are more difficult to navigate.
Even though the initial intention of bullbars was to prevent front-end damage in the event of a collision with an animal, adventure enthusiasts have found that these necessary accessories have become part and parcel of off-road adventuring. At Electronic Fitment Centre, our Artav nudgebars and tri-bumper bullbars have been specifically designed and engineered to improve your four-wheel-drive experience.
Enhancing Your Vehicle’s Off-Road Capabilities with Bullbars
Well-designed quality bullbars will not only add to the tough rugged look of four-wheel drives, but they will also protect vehicles whilst traversing unknown trails.
Minimise Damage
Whether you are bundu-bashing through bushveld scrub or trailblazing through rutted, gravel roads, you stand a chance of debris hitting the front of your vehicle. Bullbars are made from materials to withstand the knocks, scrapes, and bumps that the harshest terrain throws your way by assisting in minimising damage to the front-end of your vehicle.
Improved Approach Angle
Bullbars assist with the approach angle of your vehicle, making it possible for you to negotiate obstacles without causing damage to the sides and undercarriage of your vehicle. A few scuff marks on your bullbar are easier to handle than an entire bumper replacement.
Protecting Vital Engine Components
Going off the beaten track comes with the possibility of animal collisions. Bullbars can be considered as a robust shield for the front-end of your vehicle, absorbing impacts which would otherwise leave your vehicle disabled or seriously damaged.
Recovery Points
The extra protection that bullbars give you might tempt you into taking unnecessary risks, which could leave you in a tight spot. Some bars have recovery points fitted into the design whilst others assist in exposing the chassis so that they can be fitted. Either way, without bullbars, it can be extremely difficult to fit them.
Mounting Outdoor Accessories
For extreme adventure enthusiasts who prefer hitting the gravel roads at night and conquering dunes during the day, bullbars are the perfect sturdy mounting points for driving lights, winches, sand flags, and more. Several locations on your four-wheel drive can mount outdoor accessories; however, bullbars serve as a reliable base mount for optimal exposure.
As much as bullbars will extend your adventuring into the unknown, we at Electronic Fitment Centre would urge you to always be vigilant when navigating through tricky and unpredictable topography.
