Bull Bar on Ebay

Anyone know anything about this bull bar? Price sure is cheap, and from his one poor picture it looks kinda cheap. He sure sells alot of bars though.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-07...spagenameZWDVW

Also, what color bar do you guys think I should go with? I have an 08 FX4 Black on Black. The front and rear bumpers are black. Only chrome is on the step bars and badges. My wheels are also the factory 20" with the scorpion tires. Im not sure if I should go with a chrome/ss or black bull bar. I like having everything black, but I dont think I will ever go as far as some of you to black it out totally. Any one have a picture of a black on black truck with a black or chrome bull bar?

looks fishy to me. i would go with a trusted brand name like, Westin, Aries, Raptor, or others, you'll spend more, but it will be worth the quality, comfort of mind, and their lifetime garuantee's.


i think a black truck looks killer with chrome bull bars n chrome wheels. but there are a bunch guys on the site that really like the complete blackout look.

The ad also states "Picture is for illustration. Real push bar might be slightly different.(BB-FAK012B)".
So do you really know what you will be getting?

It's steel, that's part of the reason it is cheap. Most other name brand ones are stainless steel. It'll probably start to rust in a couple of years.

Ya, I wasn't going to buy the bar unless members here gave them rave reviews. It looks cheaply made. I was surprised looking through his feedback though, he sells a ton of these.

I looked at some of the reputible brands, think I will be going with Westin. Only thing I dont like about it is it says Westin on it

Still cant make up my mind if I want to go black or stainless. Need to find some pictures.

Toyo A/T 325/60/18 on Helo Maxx 6 wheels - 18 x 9 if I remember correctly 5.39" backspacing. Also a 2" leveling kit to fit them.

Thanks

I wouldn't even give it a couple of years. Plain steel will rust in no time when exposed to the elements.

Buy a good, stainless bull bar.

Would you really want to buy anything from someone like this? This is just from the last 90 days. Notice how many feedbacks that say "does not fit" (may take a few seconds to get data)

Thanks for the pics. The black looks real good on your truck, but your bumper is different color. I just worry about it being too much black and not visible on mine since I have the black bumper.

Nice truck, I LOVE my FX4 but I sure miss the KR sometimes. That smell never goes away. Mine was an 03 and I shed a tear as I pulled out of the lot.

It's listed in the title for 04+ but, in the description it says 01-03.
