Bull and Nudge Bars, Side Steps, and Tow Hitches for Bakkies and SUVs
South Africans love to personalise their bakkies and SUVs with all manner of accessories such as nudge and bull bars and side steps. While some bakkies and SUVs are sold with standard tow hitches from the factory, many don’t have these and, as a consequence, a towbar is also a very popular accessory. Some of these accessories are fitted purely for their aesthetic value, as are some aftermarket wheels, but others are meant to be functional. Let’s take bull bars. Why do people have them fitted to their vehicles?
What Bull Bars Are For
Properly designed and constructed bull bars add some protection to the front of a vehicle. They might be useful to act as a barrier against light bumps and nudges, such as when farmers are manoeuvring their vehicles through a herd of cattle, as protection against some of the scrapes and bumps inflicted by trees and branches when driving off-road, to protect the front lights against small impacts, and even to act as mounting points for winches. Whether they are fitted for any of these reasons or not, most people would argue that they complement the rugged good looks of an off-roader.
Types of Bull Bars
As suggested above, bull bars can serve many purposes and, as such, they come in many shapes and sizes. Low-key and elegant, a nudge bar typically only covers the centre-lower part of the bumper. A typical “tri-bumper” model adds to more extension to it – one on either side – to wrap around the corners of the bumper and headlights, adding extra protection. These accessories can be painted black, but are usually finished in a bright, reflective chrome finish for added style. If a roll bar and/or side steps are also fitted, these are usually finished in the same way, so the accessories in the kit complement each other and the vehicle.
