What are bull bars used for?

Bull bars, also known as deer guards or brush guards, are designed for rural drivers to protect their vehicle against collisions with large animals. This protection is sometimes needed on long rural highway roads where the chance of a collision with a large animal is more likely.

Bull bars are not recommended for urban drivers, for both pedestrian and bike safety. Bull bars can reduce the impact of crumple zones.

How do bull bars, or brush guards mount to the vehicle?

Bull bars are mounted to the frame of the vehicle in order to provide the most structural support. It acts as an "additional" bumper designed to withstand larger impacts. Installation is usually straightforward and simple enough that you can do it yourself. We do recommend having an extra set of hands to help you, as the bull bars are large and heavy.

Do I need a bull bar?

Bull bars have a very specific purpose. They are intended for rural drivers to protect their vehicle against collisions with large animals. In these cases it can protect certain parts, like your radiator, from damage.

If this is not the scenario in which you drive, you probably do not need a bull bar. A bull bar can decrease the crumple zone of your vehicle, as well as cover up sensors that are built into your bumper.

We only recommend a bull bar in very specific circumstances, and only if it does not cover any sensors or other technology integrated into your bumper.
