bull bar on 2000 awd safari

Post by thumbsafari »

i have installed a bull bar that was given to me on my safari van. i am sorry i didnt take more pictures on the process it took to install the bar but i didnt have a lot of extra time while installing it. it was however a three and a half hour process and was a bit of a pain in the ass.(pardon my french) the biggest pain in the butt was where the bolts lined up with the bumper, after making a wrench with a 90 degree bent head it was quick work.

feel free to message me with any questions

did it line up with the frame or did you have to modify the bar

the bar did not line up with the frame, we attached it to the bumper for now until i can build the correct bracket.
and it has been taken out. the big problem there isn't anywhere really to get crazy off road without having to drive and with it being hunting season i havent had much spare time
