"Bull Bars"? Needed.
I think they are called "Bull Bars". Those pipe structures that fit in front of the vehicle.
Anybody in Baja fabricating and installing these???
I am looking for the real deal, 3" or so galvanized or cast-iron sewer pipe sort of stuff that I can use in Pacific Beach to run into jaywalkers when
I'm not sedately driving Baja.
Installation will be on an E-250.
Any referrals appreciated.

If its a newer vehicle be wary about some of that bolt on stuff it may impact the performance of your air bag system and void your warrantry.

At a minimum you should you ERW tubing.DOM would be better.Chromoly is probably over-kill. |
Thank You although I have no idea what DOM is and Google did not help although they did put me on to ERW tubing. Gracias.
Anybody down there do that kind of work that you know of? Thanks for the dope.

No longer under warranty but good thought for anyone doing after-market modifications. Thanks.

The good stuff comes from Texas - I saw lots of good ranch-style front-end protection there for the Ford Super-Duty pickups.

Some years ago, prior to being produced commerically, they were known in Baja as "Tumble Burros."

I have an ARB winch bumper (also called a bullbar), its pretty bad-ass. I think for the Ford's, you can get a Warn winch bumper for cheaper. The ARB's
are just under $1k and imported from Australia.

There is a bar in San Francisco called The Manhole but I don't know if it's a bull bar.

That is beautiful work.
Be proud of your production and for goodness sake don't hit anything and mess it up.

Thanks for both refs Ken. Was hoping you would get in here after seeing photos of some of the stuff you do with the Rubicon.
Gracias

I don't know what it is about those Whoosh but I intensely dislike them. Maybe because I'm a West Coaster, or growing up in Tunaville, don't know.
Just not very red-neck overall.
At one point I saw a pair hanging from a truck in Arizona I think I was, and tried to pull them off I felt so offended by them, but, being old, I just
don't have the strength in my hands any longer so now I carry a pair of Dykes with me.
Boy, they see those and make me stop the van. They run over and RIP them off by hand whether the driver is aboard or not.
Works real well.

If you were in La Paz, there are 5-6 stores that have them out front for sale.

I highly recommend RR rails for knocking down jaywalks, in any urban setting.
There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.
