I searched for bullbars and found 2 threads on the I need... section with two guys chasing bullbars that got no replies.

Even the off road guru Hiace Hobo doesn’t seem to run one. I have the raised Cobra Springs on the way from NZ for my 2wd. Last week I paid and am now waiting for the first batch of Yokohama geo G015 to come in in the 215/70 R15 size which will give me only 14mm increase on my plated 205s. Those on my new black Sunraysias with the little suspension lift will go great with a bullbar. I really want to improve my approach angle and get rid of the plastic front bumper and not make it worse with a bullbar with those 2 stupid bars that come from underneath the standard front end.

Any reason I don’t see any even on the 4wd guys cars?

I like the naked look of the ones fitted to Delicas. Surely a guy that’s good with a gas axe and a welder could persuade one of those to fit. They seem to be easy to find.

trying to work out why you would want to alter your approach angle with a 2wd?

Easier to steer around the bulls Smile

Careful not to restrict any air inlets below the bumper if you fit them.

I tried unsuccessfully to get a bullbar when I first bought my Hiace. One supplier could source one that would fit in theory but the horizontal radiator prevents normal attachment. The supplier said I would need to find an engineer to design a new attachment method. It all seemed too difficult.

If anyone’s still looking, I came across this bumper replacement bullbar, not sure if they’re still available but it’s a start.
Presumably they’d fit SC’s
