Bullbars: What Type Should You Get?

It is almost time to go on your next family adventure vacation. You have invested in a rugged off-road warrior to take you on the meandering back roads to get away from it all but there is still something missing. To get the most out of any off-road vehicle, you need to fit all the necessary accessories, especially bullbars. Having them fitted also guarantees additional safety to your passengers as well as your vehicle.

Off-Road Adventuring or Playing it Safe?

A few things will influence your decision. They include where you intend to drive your vehicle, the type of driving you will be doing with it, how much gear you are planning to carry, and what other accessories you want fitted. At Electronic Fitment Centre, we will guide you in the right direction for your bullbar purchase and fitment.

1) Tri-Bumper Bullbars

For those who enjoy the off-road adventure and seek all the thrills that come with it, without having the headache of undercarriage damage or possible front-end engine damage, then the tri-bumper is what you need. Taking into account the types of terrain you will encounter, tri-bumper bullbars provide much-needed protection to the lower front of your vehicle. Not only will they form a barrier of protection against possible animal collisions, but your vehicle’s bumper will also be protected from scratches and debris as well as your headlights.

2) Nudge Bars

Nudge bars are considered more as an accessory for your vehicle than as a means of protection. They can withstand light impacts but are not a formidable barrier against possible animal collisions. Aesthetically, they still provide the tough look you are going for.

The Strength and Durability of Steel

If your trusted bakkie is a workhorse, then you need to have it kitted out in a material that is strong and durable. Compromising on weight for durability, steel is the best-suited material for bullbars as it can handle the everyday bashing that it will take. Welded steel bullbars provide more strength and stability as they consist of fewer components, making them less likely to rattle.

Place for Your Gear

Knowing that you can take your gear with you is reason alone to have bullbars fitted. The accessory mounting points allow for a winch, spotlights, and above all, mountings for a fishing rod or two.
