: A Teaser for you all!
After seeing littlebuddha19's Bull Bar, and the response from the membership really liking it, I contacted the vendor, "DealsofSteel" asking about doing a group buy on the bar. They have gotten back to me, and are not only willing to do a buy on it, but are sending us a bar to do a review article on it.
The bar has been updated by the mfg. since littlebuddha19 got his to add a bar type skid plate to it. It will be available in both Stainless and Black. The bar should be arriving by the weekend, so look for the group buy and article to appear some time next week. Pricing and specifics will be given then, but I will say, it is going to be a great deal! Here is a pic of the updated bar, and the older style on littlebuddha19's truck.
Denny 03-23-2005, 09:01 AM I like that! Do they have it in black?
PowerT 03-23-2005, 09:16 AM This is by far my favorite bull bar seen yet! The skid bars add to the bold look. I'm interested, for sure.
TheDoc 03-23-2005, 09:33 AM :lol: OK I now have $957 worth of parts ordered to my LE since joining this club less than a week ago. Actually there are some more things I'm holding back on LOL. When I read yoru post PowerT about the bull bar to go in front of your awesome grill inserts Im ordering today LOL it finally hit me....
This is clearly and addiction we are all suffering from. Hello my name is Doc and
I'm a Titanaccessoryholic. >>> Hi Doc <<<
QWIKWHIP 03-23-2005, 09:34 AM I like that too. But two things that will prevent me from getting one. First is that if I put it one my truck won't fit in the garage anymore! (yeah, it's that tight) And second, I don't like the fact that you have to remove teh tow hooks. :( But it does look sweet. :D

I don't know if it will be possible, but I am going to try to figure out a way to keep my hooks. Its no big deal to me if I can't, but I am going to try.

Yeah, I hear yeah. :) My biggest reason is the garage thing. That's why I can't lift it either. I need a bigger garage!

I think you need to strart looking at new houses! You can't allow your mods to be limited by a stupid garage! What kind of Titanaholic are you anyway?
TheDoc 03-23-2005, 09:51 AM hahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha good one bixll
OK I clicked in both grill insert orders in brushed aluminum, got cold feet, and logged off.
MY Titan is Silver. Someone tell me why I should get chrome or brushed aluminum before they send me to the Titanaddonholic loony ward.

Not sure what your talking about, this thread is about the bull bar?????
TheDoc 03-23-2005, 09:56 AM Yes but you have to put the inserts on before installing the bull bar, right? By the way, thanks.

Ah, yes you do. The brushed aluminum finish doesn't seem to be very popular, most people go with the polished.

xsive11 03-23-2005, 10:53 AM This would be a definate buy for me pending two things; one, can you keep the hooks and two, will it fit around the skid plate?
That thing is sweet! Good find!

I too would prefer to keep my hooks, but in over 12 years of having vehicles with the tow hooks, not 1 time have I ever used them!
xsive11 03-23-2005, 10:59 AM i WISH i could say the same my friend!
I want some front end protection/looks so bad but so far nothing allows for keeping the hooks that i can find.

What you need is a bull bar with integral tow hooks!
Rossi 03-23-2005, 11:27 AM If I had a 4X4 I'd be all over that. I like it!! It has to be the best one that I have ever seen. So I'll have to look this up in a couple years.

I haven't need my hooks on the Titan yet, but every other truck I have owned I've needed them. I have a tendency to go places I really shouldn't. :) I had my Frontier for 3 months and used teh tow hooks twice! lol :) I kinda needed them trying to keep up with this guy!

Speaking of garages, we had a big storm roll through last night. How is this for close. Although even if the garage was big enough, I have too much junk in there anyway :roll: :lol:

Looks like you live in the STICKS...literally!
ThereByAir 03-25-2005, 12:34 AM Looks very nice. Does it have light mounts like the westin? (apologies if this has already been answered) ditto on the garage issue...wish i could lift my truck, too.
Qwikwhip, nice pic of your frontier. I haven't got up the nerve to take my new monster off-road yet, hopefully soon :oops:. Have you noticed how clean your wheels and tires look in the pic, lol?

I was waiting for someone to ask that. :) We just came out of a stream, that's why the wheels are all squeaky clean. :D It was alot of fun that day. My buddies 04 2500 Ram only made it about 1/2 mile in and he had to park it. We got tired of pulling him out of every mud hole! lol. :) Let me just say, those Hummers (the real ones!) are unbelievable off road. I haven't got the balls to bring the Titan back there yet though. It was a pretty rough trail. That honestly the main reason the Ram kept getting stuck was that it was just too big for where we were.

C'mon........you can chalk the new house as an external MOD for the Titan....C'mon do it......do it :money:
TitanGuyCNY 03-25-2005, 06:08 PM Dammit BiXLL, you pushers just keep feeding my habit!!! The only thing that may save me is, I don't know if it'll be compatible with the ram air snorkel to my Volant air intake ...
:suspect:
Wow, I want it. Luckily, I already can't fit into the garage and I don't have tow hooks.
As far as not needing something, you should check out my post on how I didn't need a 4x4, when I got stuck in wet grass. lol
Any news on the group buy for this one? I really need to get it soon. :)
I was sent one of the first ones, and it did not fit properly. I had to cut more then 1 1/2 inches off from the ends of the skid plate bars where the meet the bottom of the truck. In doing that, I also had to cut off the sealed ends of the bar, so it is not something I would recommend anyone buying and adapting yourself. I can say, the bars are made of some tough stuff, I went through 3 of my speed grinding wheels to do it!
The vendor has been in touch with the factory, and they are retooling to make the adjustments. Once the new bar is ready, it will be offered. In fact, the vendor was in touch with me yesterday, asking that I still do the group buy once the bar is right!
Dang Bill that really does look good. Cant wait to get mine in black.
M4ck
Wow, that looks even better than I thought it would. I really can't wait. I totally changes the appearance fo the truck, very aggressive. Good Job!
littlebuddha19 04-05-2005, 09:07 PM Mine has the tapped fittings already in the bull bar to fit the skid plate if i want it. But my lic. plate would dominate the look of it.

They are not even offering it without the skid bars now.

I know i checked on them before and it said it was discontinued. Lucky i guess.
If you can do me a favor ask him when the nerf bars are going to be in stock again. He told me about 10-14 days and that was a month ago....
I really am not in touch with him at this point. He is supposed to get in touch with me when the corrections to the skid plate bars are made.
Rossi 04-05-2005, 10:51 PM If I had a 4X4 that would be a must buy for me. I love the looks and I really don't like most of them.
xsive11 04-07-2005, 08:46 AM so the tow hooks are indeed lost on this application right?
littlebuddha19 04-07-2005, 01:39 PM so the tow hooks are indeed lost on this application right?
Yep
gomez 04-10-2005, 01:42 AM Count me in people, I'm going to have a hard time getting this one by the wiffee. :notworthy: This one is a must have though, I'll just have to suck it up and take her to the Mall :crying:
