It finally happend I wrecked my truck yesterday, some idiot in the parking garage just haulled @$$ in reverse out of his spot as I was coming down the aisle, and then brillant me decided to swerve instead of hitting him I hit a concrete pole! sorry no pics as it is already at the body shop. just would like an opinion about something.

right now I have the hunter bull bar which was damaged in the wreck pictured here




then I found this one should I get this one or the original one??


thanks for the input guys! =)

Go with an ARB or TJM bullbar and forget that mallish chrome junk

get a whole new off road bumper. i'm not a big fan of the bull bars IMHO.

That chrome one he has pictured hardly qualifies as a bullbar let alone a calf bar.

To answer your question, I like the new bar better than the original, but I agree with everyone else, put an arb or tjm on there.

TJMs blow. They bend up really easily. I am very dissatisfied with the bumper i purchased. The slighest metal to metal contact and the bumper is ruined. I pulled my runner up on my bros tire and while backing down the right corner of my T-17 got caught on his All-Pro Tube bumper. Now my TJM is bent to hell even more and his bumper didnt move an inch

yeah looking back I should have just broad sided him, I guess its just instinct to swerve as I love my runner im sure like you all do I was trying to avoid crashing it... but it didnt quite work out that way! good news is that my body shop is gonna get me a sport hood instead of the original stock one!

I know that it looks bling or mallish as some say, If my truck where an off-road vehicle I would get an arb or something of that nature, but mine is a 2wd pavement pounder that I haul clients around in. Im just goin more of less for form than function. Thank you YT for the comments and replys, I love this site. although I may not post alot I do however surf here alot and use the vast amounts of yota info... =)

I agree.....ditch that "bumper" bar and get a TJM or ARB. You really should've just rammed the other guy. Then his insurance would have payed. Concrete polls don't.
