Bull bar for a 3rd gen

Im looking for a bull bar for a 1994 Toyota pickup 4wd with the V6. I've looked everywhere for a bull bar. Does anyone have a bull bar on their rig? Does anyone know where I can find one? Are there other options I can get? I mostly want a bull bar for looks and mounting a led bar. If there are other better options please let me know

Thanks!!

I’ve searched for just “1994 Toyota Pickup bull bar” and I don’t get anything. What other options are there?

This website has some nice products! But first I want to see if I can find something like this: [img]webkit-fake-url://5a8ba77e-78ee-4f0f-951d-1bea5c80b2d6/imagepng[/img]Do you know if there is anything out there for a 3rd gen pickup? Or will a bull bar compatible from another truck fit my pickup?

when i think i bull bar i think of something like this


if you are looking for a damage multiplier - i mean this type of alleged 'bullbar' doubt you will find one for a truck that hasn't been made for 22+ years..no market for it

The one on the Tacoma is what I'm looking for. Is there a compatible truck that I can buy from and stick it on my pickup? If I can't find a bull bar then what are some good alternatives? Would a bull bar from a 98 Tacoma fit my pickup?

^x2 on what he said.. good luck finding a new one. theres a few of the old smittybilt bumpers floating around craiglist but to be honest they are in high demand and fetch more than they are worth. people want the back to the future look, but most of those thin walled nerf bumpers rusted out years ago.

I have one that came with my truck. It's all for looks, there's really no utilitarian purpose besides attaching fog lights to it. Anyway, they do indeed rust out. This was the case on the one that came on my truck. I had to fabricate new large 3" center tubes as the originals were completely rusted through. The uprights needed some welding too. It's all back together now, but it was a bit of work. They do indeed go fast when they're up for sale. I've had a few offers to sell mine. The westins on the later models can be adapted to fit, but you'll need to cut and weld. At that point, you're almost better off building your own bumper. If this one didn't come free with my truck, I wouldn't have gone through the trouble.
