    I am considering getting this bull bar but worried that it may interfere with where the sensor sit on the TRD Pro grill. The website state might interfere wondering if anyone out there has this set up?

    That last photoshopped pic is brutal:rofl:
    Doesn’t look like it will interfere with either the huge oval sensor or the heritage/pro grille (whatever we are calling it) with the rectangle

    My son put one similar on his FJ. Looks OK I guess. And his does not have all that manufacturer logo stuff on it if you want a little cleaner look. But I have no idea who made the one he has.

    Carry on!

    Never understood these “bullbars”. I can see them being good for mounting lights/antenna, otherwise it doesn’t do any good. Approach angle suffers and it actually causes more damage in a minor accident with those things on.

    The debate on bull bars aside, do you really want to buy something that's so cheaply done that they chose to photoshop it instead of taking pictures of an actual fitting?

    Buy what you want, but you will be out some money if you buy that thing.

    I'm with you, on the fence about it. Maybe I will just pass, just hate the cheap black bumper look.

    Looks hideous and will not add beauty. Say clear from this thin POS that will also cause more damage in case of any front end collision.

    Could always spend a bit more and get a stump bumper, looks good and functional.

    Mine is aluminum and weighs only 45 pounds.

    Put this up there with all the horrible bolt on fender flares that a lot of truck owners are putting on and running stock tire sizes with Plastidipped wheels.
