I've had a lot of people comment about my 5 post bullbar,
so here are some detailed photos of it.
But first of all, I'll say I bought this truck only 18 months ago
so I don't know who made this particular bar but I'd guess that the
original owner would have visited this forum,
so If you know him ask him and let me know. I like to meet the bloke.
Here is a link to a manufacturer of a similar bar in Australia
F250 at TUFF AUSTRALIA Personally I don't like the look of the
extra round bars on the out side but what evs!







I will be taking the bull bar off this year to
get sand blasted and repainted







and get the expanded mesh removed
and replaced with the smaller mesh and
have the running boards covered in lineX
to match the Diamondback cover



I was thinking of getting the small mesh put in between
the scrub bars too. So tell me what you think of that idea
because I'm not shore on that one






Here is a video it don't realy relate to the bar but
you may be able to get some thing from it

 

That is a cool bumper and looks to be built fairly stout for its application and weight, i agree with you on the side bars, but they would add protection for the front fenders. My main concern is deer, so just the front would work great for me, apperciate the detailed photos, i will send you some when i build mine, hope you dont mind me copying the design.
Thanks again

The side bars are called scrub bars for when you slide on a muddy track in to the side of a mountain or just a little more protection against tree limbs but over here they are more for kangaroo protection. Roos always wait till you are right on top of them before they jump and more often then not they hit the side of your car or truck not the front. And go right ahead on copying the bull-bar it's about time you blokes got rid of some of those flimsy looking bars

 

Got it (scrub bars) we have similar problems here with deer, i have posted some pics of what i have now, just getting started with a piece of 8" channel iron, i hear you on the flimsy bumper thing, thats why i building my own, may be a little heavier but i guess thats the point, still think yours are very cool looking.

Thanks
