After many phone calls and emails trying to find a set of 3rd gen bars within the UK I almost gave up hope
It was always the same old story sorry sir we don’t do a full set of stainless safari bars with brush guards for the 3rd gen hilux but we do an a bar sir
I finally managed to get a set orderd from the USA and after 8 weeks I thought I would chase them up
Only to find out that the manufacture had a massive order from general motors in the USA
And my bars where now on back order
So I had forgot all about them until I got a phone call on Friday to say they where in the UK
It might have took six months to arrive but I think they where well worth the weight as you can’t buy these bars in the UK
I did have to get the grinder out and cut the top mounting brackets that where supplied with the bars and bend the brackets slightly to get them to bolt securely to the vehicle
But the alterations are very straight forward and unless you are very stupid it’s no problem to fit these bars
And for a little under 400 quid I think they are a very good buy and think they look quite smart
So I now have a 3rd gen push bar and push bar cover for sale with Bosch fog lamps fitted
Plus a brand new in the Toyota box push bar cover for the 3rd gen if anybody is interested
