bull bars, HELP
Submitted by wez0062 on Mon, 2016-01-18 10:35
Guys, not fishy, BUT
are any member here or friends of members who are in the Bull Bar business. I have a new Ford Everest and am chasing a Bull Bar & side steps to be made for it. To purchase these from Ford is basically $3800.00 for the bull bar & $2300.00 for the side steps, and NO, I am NOT shitting you.
From pricing I have seen for these items to fit a Ford Ranger, these prices are double if not triple.
I am chasing a reputable company who is willing to make me the bull bar & side steps, even can use my car as the "bunny" for a week or so. I am sure there will be others chasing the same, as the Ford Everest becomes more popular & people do not want to pay the rip off Ford pricing
any help would be appreciated.
regards Wez

If there's no bars available
If there's no bars available commercially, a local fabricator might be keen to take the task on.
My picks are either Slinky customs (SOR) or On-track Fabrication (NOR). Both guys are good blokes and well known in the 4wd community. They both have facebook pages and have made bars for odd 4wd's like the BMW x5's and SsangYong's.

Have you looked into fitting
Have you looked into fitting a ranger bar to your everest? Same front end isnt it?

I reckon the front ends
I reckon the front ends should be the same, but no supplier has so far offered that advise

ARB bar will still be 3
ARB bar will still be 3 grand. Most little companies can crash test their bars to be compliant with adr's and airbags etc.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
