Bull bar for '94

[YuriTheDutch]

Can anyone tell me please what is fitting the best for my 94 4runner. I saw this picture on the forums and would like to have a similar look to my 4runner. If anyone can tell me the brand and type of the bull bar and the other protections as shown in the picture, I would be grateful.

And my 4runner:

Cheers,

Yuri.

Yuri,

Can't help you with brand but maybe with some info and advice. We don't call those Bull Bars. They are generally called brush guards. They are actually worse for the vehicle in a collision which is why many people call them "damage multipliers". If you want a bull bar, buy an ARB or similar front bumper; those are real bull bars. I'm assuming, however, that it's not about function but only about looks.

I have seen the brush guards on ebay and other places. Seems like Weston makes one. Next time I run across one, I will post a link for you. You might google "toyota brush guard" and see what pops up.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

Thanks for the info Alabama4Runner, very helpful.

To be honest I require the 'brush guard' for all 3 three purposes you mentioned. Looks, function and damage multiplier :biggrin2:

he means it will make the damage to your truck worse in an accident.

Really? Those Brush Guards don't really look like they will give your vehicle more damage. Or is it because they are attached directly to the frame?

No. It's because they are attached only at the bottom of the frame and have too much cantilevered upward from that pivot point. Refer back to your first photo. What do you think will happen if you hit something with that brush guard? The attachment point will bend or break and the entire brush guard will smash into the front of your pretty truck damaging the grill, lights and possibly the radiator.

If you want one for looks then go for it. If you think you can push cows around with it then think again!
