5 Reasons Why Canadians Are Installing Bull Bars

... and Why You Should Too

1. Appearance

A device that mounts to the front of a truck or SUV, Bull bars were originally built to protect the occupants of a vehicle from a high-speed encounter with a large or heavy animal—whether tearing down the highway or blazing a trail through thick Canadian bush in the middle of nowhere. Though the main benefit to installing Bull bars may be protection, they also possess unique and undisputable visual qualities that cannot be denied. Among these qualities: toughness, sturdiness and strength—qualities that reflect the true Canadian truck and SUV owner.

Bull Bars unquestionably help to protect you and your family (and engine) from a sudden impact traveling at speed—but the impression of strength and intimidation provided by Bull Bars elevates the appearance of your truck to a whole new level. Not many other accessories on the market can make that claim.

As most Canadians live in cities and the risk of colliding with a deer is quite small, it is the visual appeal of Bull Bars that is driving Canadians to install them on their vehicles.

2. Protection

Appearances aside, protection and safety matter. Canadian weather can be unpredictable at the best of times, wreaking havoc on the roads for the majority of the year, and having that extra strength on the front of your truck does a lot to provide some piece of mind. Let’s face it; for many of us, our vehicles are our livelihood—they get us to work and allow us to provide for our families. That’s worth protecting.

3. Low Cost Relative to Safety

Bull Bars are an inexpensive way to increase the safety of your vehicle. Consider this—bumpers are designed to crumple on impact—and while that will absorb part of the blow, they don’t provide much in the way of protecting your engine. Bull bars on the other hand are built from materials with high strength to weight ratios like stainless steel and aluminum. Even the least expensive Bull Bars are incredibly strong and will provide substantial protection to your engine. Bull bar kits also come with detachable skid plates to protect the lower bumper from damage.

4. Ease of Installation

Bull bars come with everything required for them to be installed quickly and correctly. Several brands, like Westin Bull bars require no drilling and take only minutes to install.

Bull bars are made to fit all sorts of makes and models of vehicles—from Dodge Ram, to Ford F-150, to the Chevrolet Silverado—and everything in between.

5. Variety

If you don’t happen to be a fan of a chrome finish that’s polished to a mirror shine, you can opt to have your Bull bars to be finished with a black powder coat.

If you’re looking for something different, add powerful Halogen off-road lights that will cut through the darkness of night with ease. Many Bull Bar kits come with pre-drilled holes for easy fog lamp or auxiliary light installation.
