Bullbars | Protect Your Vehicle

Different Types of Bullbars: Which One is Right for Your Vehicle?

Primarily designed to protect a vehicle’s engine components on impact, bullbars have since grown in popularity, with many 4×4 vehicle owners having them fitted as a necessary accessory. As much as they add to the rugged exterior, there are important factors that need to be considered before investing in bullbars. At Electronic Fitment Centre, we would like you to consider your choice of bullbars based on your intended vehicle usage. The fact that they look good is just an added benefit.

How Do I Choose Bullbars?

Before buying bullbars just because they add to the aesthetics of your vehicle or because the price is right, we would suggest that you factor in the type of driving that you intend to do and where you plan on taking your vehicle as this has an impact on the type of bullbar that you may need. You also need to be confident that the bullbars you choose have been designed and manufactured to high-quality standards and that they are compatible with the existing safety systems in your vehicle.

1. Durable Materials

If your bullbars are going to be used to mount accessories, such as a winch, selecting bullbars made from plastic or lighter alloys may not be ideal. What you need is a material that offers durability and strength, especially when traversing unknown roads where the chances of animal impacts are high. Artav bullbars provide your vehicle with an effective stainless-steel barrier, which has been specifically designed and tested with vehicle protection in mind.

1. Design Parameters

The design of the bullbars takes into account what your vehicle is going to be used for and the type of terrain that you will be going on. The tubular design of Artav’s tri-bumper bullbars offers much-needed front-end vehicle protection, keeping vital engine components, such as cooling systems, safe from damage. These bullbars together with other compatible accessories, such as side and rear steps, provide additional side protection, especially when travelling through rocky terrain.

1. Accessories and Compatibility

The biggest advantage of steel over other materials is that should your adventures take you to the extreme, you can have a winch securely bolted right onto the bullbar, saving you the hassle of having a cradle fitted. As vehicle safety and security is always a primary concern, make sure that your bullbar is compatible with any sensors or cameras, airbags, and emergency braking systems.

Whether your bullbars are being fitted for protection or to add to its visual appeal, we can assure you that the Artav range of accessories for your vehicle is of the highest quality.
