Bull Bar

[Rick Kent]

love the hitch in front,,, wanted to add one.

I have a boat and the front hitch makes backing it into the driveway and garage over the winter a breeze. Still have not mastered the turn left to go right method when using my rear hitch. LOL.

Rick ,Not sure if that pic on your profile was or is your dog but looks like my dog.

Located a Hunter on ebay for $139 and a Kasei for $188. Both have free ship. The Hunter is shipped from Houston. The Black Horse, which started my quest for a BB, is well over $200.

139. is not bad,, everything has seemed to have jumped up in price,,free ship also works.. no matter which bar ya use i thing they all look good and a lot cheaper then a new bumper to replace. good luck..

Yes, he is our 8 year old GSD, all black. I put him in front of the American flag in honor of Bluto's speech in Animal House.

I pulled the trigger on the Kasei (ebay). Shipping from New York. Probably will take a good week to get to Reno.

300 seems a little high for a bull bar but under 200 is not bad,,,,i think there so worth having plus they look cool. most accidents are 5 mph and under but the damage it causes can be pricey. bull bar in front and a hitch in back.

Please post a photo once you receive this? I'm very curious how it attaches

 

[nevadabob9mm]

Will do.

 

[Dmiranda1269]

Will do.

You ever get it? I just ordered it this morning

 

[nevadabob9mm]

I started a new thread:
https://sporttrac.org/threads/finally-got-my-new-bull-bar-and.123718/
They sent a "universal Black Horse" (not the Kasei that I ordered) but with the correct mounting kit. I thought since I received a Black Horse at the Kasei price I'd be ahead of the game. It went back on Monday, they received it and a refund was issued. Hasn't shown up yet on my PP account CC.

Was this what you got..
Going to install it Saturday. Just two brackets on this one, can't be difficult lol
Guess I'll save the box just incase. But I emailed him before he shipped it and told hom not to send s universal one

 

[nevadabob9mm]

Unfortunately I packed my instruction sheets (many languages) in the small mount kit box that went back with the bar. But from memory it looks pretty much the same. Glad you mentioned to not send the universal bar. Good thinking. As I was trying to make the BH bar work, I went to the hardware store to purchase some longer half inch hex head bolts. This is the bolt that attaches the bracket to the bar end. But come to find out, they're not half inch but metric 8.8. I kept my tow hooks on. One bracket has a P for passenger side and the other a D for driver side.
When one has the right stuff this isn't a difficult install at all. Hope everything goes well!

I sent you a PM showing what I ordered today.

Looks like it will all line up. I don't have my hooks on because of my body lift. But I'll get it to work.

Thanks

Mine also bolted into the tow ring mount - once I figured it out it was pretty easy to install and have had it off and then put back on once - I just needed to pull the tow rings off - put the bracket in place first then the tow ring - took a bit of wrestling and swearing to get the bolts started but after that it was butter - funny though after reading the threads I don't remember the brands Nevada Bob mentioned being an option - mine is a tiger something but the only one I could find online now that looks like mine says 1,149 dollars - I sure as hell didn't pay that - I thought I paid $149 - need to look at my records....

It's crazy how everything has jumped alot... just need to trim the bottom of the bumper to put the tow hooks back on first.

Easy install, had to trim lower area because of my body lift but I love it...

 

[Dmiranda1269]

Actually installed pretty easy and simple. It would have been easier if no body lift.
