Re: Which brand of bull bar?

I like the RAM if you are talking just bull bar/brushgard vs. whole bumper set-up.

Which Brush/Grille Guard to get???

Check this one out.

Re: Which brand of bull bar?

Now I've looked at all 3 bull bars, Manik, Westin, Aries, they all look the same. Looking at costs, I've found the Westin $269, Manik at $315 and the Aries at $215, these were powder coated. Manik & Westin offer a special bracket to attach the front plate vs drilling the bumper. I found another company Steelcraft, a few vendors are selling their products, the look like they do the fab work for other companies. Steelcraft - Toyota FJ Cruiser Accessories I find the shape of the aries to be a bit narrow vs the others.

Ok, more info Westin Install Directions, it apprears to get you keep the factory skid plate.
