2nd Gen Bull Bars On A 3rd Gen

[Scorpion]

Sorry, I know this is a bit of a recurring theme but I've recently seen these 3rd gen pictures. I know a few on here aren't great fans of bull bars, but I love 'em!

Is this wrap around bar specifically designed for a 3rd gen, or could it be a 2nd gen adapted to fit?





Or has anyone fitted a 2nd gen bullbar to a 3rd gen without the need to adapt it? I believe this question was asked a few weeks ago but I don't think anyone offered a definitive answer.

As always, thanks for any advice.

The chassis rails are further apart on the 3rd gen, so adapter plates will be needed to fit a 2nd gen bullbar.
The bars in your photo are from a 2nd gen, you can just see the adapter/extension pieces holding it on.

Cheers Vince, the search for the fabled JAOS bullbar begins!

Suddenly my 190 mile journey to get a wrongly advertised bullbar doesn`t look like such a waste of time.

If you spot a Jaos bash plate or whatever name they give it could you let me know?

Do you have any pictures please, or is it very similar to the 2nd gen bullbar?

I certainly will mate.

It seems there were a few versions of the factroy bull bar for the third gen..

-Just the bottom bit (most common- Mine had this when I first got it)
-Bottom bit with an extra hoop making it an A bar.
-Bottom bit with two "lower" hoops that protect the lower bumper/indicators (very rare only seen one pic it looks a bit odd...)
-What I have

I'd not want to rely on it for nudging any bulls though! You can't see it in the pic but it has "Toyota" inset in the top middle bit.

I don't have any better pics I'm afraid....

Cheers for the pics, I know which ones you mean now. I'll still be on the lookout for some nice 2nd gen JAOS bars, or something very similar.

There are some on Ebay at the moment but they do have some damage. I'm in no rush so I'll bide my time until the right ones show up ( I was patient enough to wait 18 months for some good, rear quarter, chrome bumpers from Stormforce!)

Already spotted those mate, they're the ones with a little damage that I mentioned in post #9. Thanks for the heads up though.
