bull bar question

[Retribution]

Will a set from a 2000 model fit the 3rd gen as i think these have come off a single cab hilux

Probably not without modifications.

But nothing you couldn't overcome somehow.

[Antshiel]

If it has the same chasis as the surf then yes, otherwise, angle grinder and welder.

It's this 1 here i'm just waiting for a reply from the guy selling to confirm what exact hilux model it is

a 2000 reg pickup would be a mk 4 mate.

Im not against putting anything on well, Anything!!

I was just suggesting welding it on would perhaps be not the best way of fixing the bull bar, Ive done some research on them for a while and on some occasion they save damage - others, they make it a million times worse, At least they can be unbolted with relative ease in the event of a crash to get at anything that may need replacing ( Even Stormforce will need to remove his bars to get at the damaged panels )

If they are welded on - thats it, bin them!! Bolted? just take them off an put them back on again!



I was only thinking of you mate

Fair enough then mate!

I'd love to fab something up! Got 99.9% of the tools needed for pretty much anything!!
