RV TRAVEL
Given all the other bars I ' d seen online and in person, I was confident I ' d found the perfect bar for my HiLux. Fast forward from fitting and a few drives around town and in the bush, I ' m as happy as Larry with my choice. Time will tell how well it holds up to my seaside location and exposure to salt air and harsh sun, although it is billed as being E- coated and powder-coated, so that should keep the rust away. Hopefully, it doesn ' t happen, but in the unfortunate event of an animal strike, I also hope it doesn ' t get too bent out of shape and saves my HiLux.
From my initial on and offroad driving, the bar is sturdy and doesn ' t shake or vibrate on rougher tracks at speed.
The final proof that I’ ve chosen the right bullbar is that whenever I walk away from parking the HiLux, I look back to see how great it looks, and it gives me a little smile every time.
Steering and radiator protection is an important consideration.
MY BULLBAR INFORMATION
No sales pitch from me, but this is the bar I ended up choosing: the Rockarmor GT Bullbar to suit an N70 HiLux. Price: $ 1799. Not that I’ d do it, but a no-hoop version costs $ 1499.00. Other vehicle models are available.
The optional brush bars and rock sliders are $ 299 and $ 649, respectively, although package deals make them cheaper.

MARK’ S WISE WORDS
For me, finding the perfect bullbar involves balancing function, aesthetics, and features while considering legalities.
If you can tick all these off your wishlist, you’ ve nailed your perfect bullbar for your vehicle and your situation. As for whether you need it or simply want it … sorry, but I can ' t help you there.
