Did you know the moment you touch someone else car and damage it even a small bit, then this is for your insurance to pay for it ? And that you could also get in trouble with the law if you did it on purpose ?
Well. Had a bull guard on my Nissan Armada couple years ago. I slid while doing a left turn, tried to do a small drift but TC messed me up so i end up hitting the guard rail on the right, the bull guard saved my front end. :D all I had to do was loosen the bolts to re-align it back to normal.
I have the same go rhino bumper on my avalanche. I love it bc when I lived in Dallas, everyone thought I was highway patrol and got out of my way on the highways
@@MuddyBob650 I once saw a Chevy 2500 with a grill guard whack a mule deer buck at roughly 60mph. I was right behind the truck. Flipped the deer 540° and threw it into the bar ditch. Snapped one of its antlers in half and killed it. I checked on the guys in the truck and they were just fine, only a small dent in the hood near the passenger headlight. Drove on to work like nothing had happened.
It won't do anything unless its a dull steel bumper a high speed impact is more likely to push the upper section of a guard into the front of the vehicle and damage the radiator
Really they should just be called bump guard. In terms of strength from weakest to strongest: 1) brush guard (mostly decoration) 2) bull (bump) guard. (In video) 3) push guard (in video) 4) ram guard. A steel bull guard can protect against hitting animals, or “bumping” other cars/objects. Not gonna save you in a 40+mph wreck, or allow you to ram/push cars lol.
I don’t go off-road a lot but i want one of these because of people not paying attention to traffic, my 2nd gen 4runner is too small & fragile compared to bigger trucks/cars & would definitely ruin it really bad
Well, here in Mexico we have them to use them as RamBars. It is a safety issue for us dealing with drug cartels daily. Generally, the best I've seel is to have custom made brackets on the bottom, middle and top of the push bar to make it really sturdy not just to take most of the hit, but to actually take it all like a champion. Yes, It will get sort of damaged, but it will allow you to hit a car, move it out of the way and keep going without significant damage to your vehicle, your radiator or any parts that could prevent you from keep going on. It also helps when you actually install an offroad steel bumper with that bull guard on top ankered to the chasis in a higher place like the radiator top bracing.
@@---tx9xx I've only seen Iron Bullbumpers tested that way and they seem like the real deal. Now, they are expensive for my pocket and I would have to take my van to them so that they can make me one cuz they don make any for the chevy express van. But they might have one for your truck. The other way is the way I'm doing it... build one out of 1/4" square tubing and 3/16" steel plate. I'm making a frame out of the tubing and the "body out of the plate. Im gonna bolt it directly to the frame of the van with 1/2" diameter bolts and making sure the frame is stabilized by the bumper itself so it doesn't move in case of collision. I learned that modern frames use accelerometers and other sensors to decide if the airbags have to go off, but if the frame doesn't shift, It is less likely to set them off and seize the vehicle.
That bull bar looks weak and wobbily.. the one i got slides into the frame and mounts in 2 places, below the bumper to frame rails and in the middle of the bumper that goes to the frame rails with 2 tubes that run beside the radiator.. i can lift my truck with the bull bar i got.. also slid down a hill into a tree at like 20 and didnt do much of anything besides chip the paint on the 4" x1/4" wall tubes.. looks home made but dunno.. welds are good looking but instead of having some bracket like i said they go from the round tube to a rectangle that slides inside the frame rails about a foot then through bolts with 2 beefy bolts on bottom and top part sits where the cross member or frame rails connect to eachother by the shock towers.. so they rest against that middle rail .. best design ive seen for something like a bull bar..
I ordered this push bumper (GRH 3150B) for my 04 Silverado back in March 21’ through Summit. It was back ordered forever and just received it in Aug.

Question, in an accident considering a lot of these are mounted to the frame, how much more protected is the person? You’ll see an accident where the other car is totaled, and the car with the guard is relatively fine. But internally is the entire frame kaput?
I've seen video with an accident and the police officer said it took a lot of the energy out of the crash. Have to look at the documents of police equipment, I think they have the most safety development.
If u really want the strongest protection u should buy a RanchHand brush guard made in Shiner, Texas. They do extensive research on the strongest design and hand weld each brush guard. They are way stronger than the push bar that u showed.

Thanks!
Depends how it's designed. If you get one designed for law enforcement that doesn't seem to be the issue. I work on Police cars and the brackets get mangled. We just install a new unit and send the car on its way.

Also since it is plactic you can’t easily repair it.. looks like i need to replace the whole bumper to get better alignment.. I will definetly get a crush-guard and I will be more careful on curve☝️🙄…
Brush guards cover the entire front end from edge to edge; and if offroading in forests a nice to have. Bull bars are in the middle. Push bars are more secure, and great for pushing vehicles and people out of the way.
I just got the brush bar installed on my Rav4 and it looks great. What I really wanted was the push bar because it looks amazing and intimidating. The only reason why I choose the brush bar was because it was cheap. The push bar was expensive! But one of these days, I’m gonna replace my brush bar with the push bar.
Is this strong enough to push slow moving vehicle's off the road, making my commute quicker Or in case I'm late for work, as I am on my last warning now And I am sick of passing people on the right The gravel soft shoulder, is dangerous to pass on at high rates of speed Thanks 😁

He is talking about 3:32. The way you where talking it seemed there is a product called a ram bar. Your just saying the push bars are not meant for raming into cars or animals at high speed. They are meant for pushing stuff at low speed. They will reduce damage done to your vehicle but the laws of physics still apply.
@@AnthonyJ350 thanks for the tip mate! I take that with me. But what I'm also wondering about is, a pushbar don't hurt any cyclists and voetgangers right? If so, it has been approved according to Dutch law.
I'm looking into the push bar for my 04 Silverado 4wd. I like the rhino 3150B, however do I need a front plate relocation bracket? I could not tell from the angle of the video. I started out being really interested in a bull bar but when I realized they really are mostly for looks and most of them have some sort of advertisement on them I decided on something more functional that still looks good. There are animals out here and would at least like to have a fighting chance of something would happen
The push bar I have I didn't have to relocate the plate, had clearance everywhere. I got it for the same reason. Wanted a more aggressive look and somewhat of a fighting chance to be able to drive home if I hit an animal by accident.
Thanks. After looking into the price the cheapest I could find it was Summit (just under $300) and I was actually able to print installation instructions and it actually DOES come with a license plate bracket. Looks like it just moves it father up front instead of it being "hidden" behind the bar.
@Krishan Chaudhry Push bar on a Camry would look so sweeeeeeet!, you could also put a huge wing on the trunk to match, matt black of course And also paint the hood matt black, to stop glare from the sun in your eyes That's how mine is set up

Push bumper will absorb and deform a bit. A bull guard that's aluminum and only has 2 points I assume would cave in. Road Armor or ARB bumpers would be better because they're stronger.

My personal experience, definitely get one of these. It has been invaluable to me and has saved my ass and come in handy many times. I've had to ram and push my way out of dangerous situations and I'm glad i had a bumper to do so
I run a bull bar mostly to keep people from backing into me,and at the same time giving me a little more space when parking.
That's the main reason I got one too. Plus I love the look.

But they do interfere with crumple zones
This question came up a lot at work, our shop installed a ton of them, not me personally, I'm the service manager
But our boss is East Indian and we quit installing them for safety reasons
He said it would be a matter of time before they are banned here, and feels sick because of all the injury's these could have caused
They are banned in India and different parts of the world, you can easily look this up to fact check what I am typing is true, I did a long time ago, and how airbags work, and sensor location?
I don't have time to, I got to get to work

The reasons for the ban are: Bull-bars make crumple zones ineffective by transmitting crash energy directly to the body structure, thus causing injuries and death to the occupants.
It depends on the manufacturer. Setina claimes NONE of their designs affect the SRS system setina.com/push-bumpers/#:~:text=None%20of%20our%20push%20bumper%20designs%20interfere%20with%20the%20SRS%20Airbag%20System.

I think you better give it another read
I never said they did. none of them do, not just Setina
I also stated they do not effect the airbags
Airbags are controlled by accelerometers
I do belive his point, whjich I have no way of judging, is that due to the removal of the crumple zones, that it is more dangerous to theoccupants in a high speed crash, I wonder if he thinks this applies also to steel bumpers? @grantward9205 @@AnthonyJ350
I'm curious to know if Setina or 🦏 brand P71 🚔 push bar will affect or have problems with Ford air bags, air bag sensors. I do 👮🏻♂️ & have seen 2000s era Ford CVs with that problem.
It might make them not deploy at lower speeds. You have to factor in they're engineered to be installed with the airbag system intact.
Is there any push bumper for a 2017 toyota highlander? @here
Not sure, you'd have to search.
I had steel fly off a flat bed.
this baby saved me a new condenser and radiator

Nice, was it a steel push bar?
Hi, I have a Honda CR-V 2006. Wich model do you recommend me? Thanks!
See if GoRhino has something available.
Only con and I'm learning to live with it lol is the lower approach angle somebody say scrapeeeeee!!!!
You can do an ARB bumper instead. A lot more money
what is the advantaege of that @@AnthonyJ350
Ate there any that don’t interfere with your parking sensors and cameras?
I think you would have to go with a bumper like ARB that has provisions for your parking sensors. They do cost a lot more than a push bar.
If you don't know how to park without sensors you shouldn't be driving
@@grantward9205 lol you must be young. Im in my mid 30's. Never rely on technology especially electronics, they fail and most sensors fail eventually. If no code pops up on your dash how would you know a blind spot or a parking sensor is working? Dont be lazy always pay attention when your driving
I cross the border alot I Need one of there to push cars trying to cut in the line
That's one use I suppose
I got a push bumper with no brackets. There's no identification on it. Where can I go for brackets?
What's the brand?
@@AnthonyJ350 no clue. There's only a number 367398p
Ok... So where do I get one of these push bumpers for a 2003 jeep laredo??... I googled it with no luck
Try 4wheelparts ?
@@AnthonyJ350 yeah...seeing plenty of bull bars...but no push bumpers... Thanks tho
I have that era Chevy, where can I find that push bar?
Fleet and safety.com
Someone at the off road store told me to avoid push bars because they can damage the radiator and other internal stuff on an accident because of the top brackets being close to them and pushing them in on impact.. is that true? any thoughts on that vs bull bars that just help out a little bit? Thanks!
Depends how it's designed. If you get one designed for law enforcement that doesn't seem to be the issue. I work on Police cars and the brackets get mangled. We just install a new unit and send the car on its way.
I mean the other car could damage too

Hi dear any recommendation for my Silverado 2001 “push bar” thx
What's your criteria? Is it just to hold lights and for looks? Or you want something more robust?
I go with bull bar! Looking one that doesn’t block my license plate
I'm trying to figure out how to put a grille guard on my 05 ford escape, does anybody know how?
Did it come with instructions?
Did you ever get one on? I notice its harder to fit/find guards for sedans vs trucks/suv.
Westin Push bar with light guards, because why not
If that's what you like and it works for you, right on!
What about bull bars that replace the hole bumper
Can you show me an example? Like ARB bumpers?
They should drop the word "guard" in the term "bull guard" because that little flimsy thing isn't guarding anything, it's just BULL only
Yup, you need an actual push bar.
That is funny 😂😂
Informative video bro. Thanks
Thanks for watching Kevin!
the work truck which is my ' 04 Silverado single cab & long bed & 4,3 v6 / auto,. / 4x4 ( on the floor ) w/ currantly 180 k miles on the clock & still going strong here....it's got a simple push bar like on your silver truck here in the video works well so far... my '02 gmc sierra crew cab long bed 6.0 / auto/4x4 ( on the floor ) w/ currantly 220 k miles on the clock as well too & still going strong here ... it getting a full on brush guard the one w/ the head light protector... it too has a built in step & bar to pull your self up onto it... it's going on saturday here... tho the only thing is differant is i wanted it out about 18 inches from the grill so later on i'll buy & mount a winch on the front end not on the brush guard but on some 1/2 to a 3/4 inch plate steel between the front horn's of the front of the frame on the rig.................
Let us know how the install goes!
It’s a bull bar. Not a brush Gaurd.
Why? Do you encounter more bulls than brushes?
What do you see when you Google brush guard, what happens? Bull bar or brush guard whatever you want to label it, those versions are pretty lame.
I got a better name. Flimsy piece of tubular metal that bends into your bumper if you look at it wrong 😀
I need a ram guard 😂
Maybe you do!
I accidentally run-thru a dog and thank goodness she is safe but my bumper isn’t good.. the plastic grille was broken and its screw plastic connector. Also since it is plactic you can’t easily repair it.. looks like i need to replace the whole bumper to get better alignment.. I will definetly get a crush-guard and I will be more careful on curve☝️🙄…
Glad to hear the dog and you are ok
Mr. Anthony, Can you build me one for my Subaru Baja Sport (NO Turbo) 2005?
Sorry, no I can't. You'll want to talk to a metal fab shop.
Hi Anthony
Could you do a video smashing these 2 cars together head on at highway speed
To see who would win
Thanks😁
It's on the list
How much was that push bar and any link for it? I got the same truck lol! Great video!
Thanks for watching! This is the unit I have on my truck www.fleetsafety.com/go-rhino-silverado-truck-push-bumper-grill-guard/

Hey im 16 and bought my first truck do you have any recomendations for a 1990 f150 that i may put fog lights and a wench on
There might be some room behind the grille for you lights.
They don’t make push bars for my 08 Honda Pilot
Too bad
Trying to find a push bar for my 2015 LR2, if any one knows where to find it...new or used. Thank you in advance!
What happens when you do a search for it?
I actually installed Iron Bull bumper.Much stronger then either of these.
Thanks for sharing!
Brush guards cover the entire front end from edge to edge; and if offroading in forests a nice to have. Bull bars are in the middle. Push bars are more secure, and great for pushing vehicles and people out of the way.
Thanks for the comment
what push bar do you recommend for a 22 f-150 powerboost
Aren't they supposed to be mounted into the frame?
Mine is, but not all designs are the same.
I just got the brush bar installed on my Rav4 and it looks great. What I really wanted was the push bar because it looks amazing and intimidating.
The only reason why I choose the brush bar was because it was cheap. The push bar was expensive! But one of these days, I’m gonna replace my brush bar with the push bar.
Thanks for the comment
It’s a rav4. You’re not intimidating anyone with it lol 😂
The video is talking about Brush bars and Push bars but the title says: Push Vs Bull
Thanks for the feedback!
Do you have the technical definition on hand differentiating all 3?
@@AnthonyJ350 No, I just found the title and the content were different. It was confusing for me.
Where can I get a push bumper for a 15 titan?
Try Go Rhino, Westin or aftermarket bumpers like ARB
Thanks. 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video .What
would u recommend for a Black
2016 suv Acura MDX?
I always recommend a steel push bar, but it depends what's available for your vehicle.
Is this strong enough to push slow moving vehicle's off the road, making my commute quicker
Or in case I'm late for work, as I am on my last warning now
And I am sick of passing people on the right
The gravel soft shoulder, is dangerous to pass on at high rates of speed
Thanks 😁
You could just leave earlier for work

Can this bull guard/rush guard be made of plastic? So just for decoration and style.
I haven't seen one personally. Aluminum bull bars are the most decorative and economical I've seen.
@@AnthonyJ350 Maybe you could make a custom plastic push bar for this guy, like for decoration
Out of 1 1/2" abs black plumbing drain pipe
I would dry fit it first, better be safe than sorry
If he had a big truck you could use 3 1/2" black abs pipe
Then you could use toilet flanges to bolt it to the front bumper
It would look just like the Dukes of Hazard
SAWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!
Also this wouldn't interfere with the crumple zones, but you may get a chuck of abs pipe through your forehead or chest in a big accident
@@AnthonyJ350 thanks for your reply man, I've found couple on internet but doesn't look this fit.
Where did you get the push bumper
Fleetandsafety.com
wtf is a ram bar?
A push bar you mean?
He is talking about 3:32. The way you where talking it seemed there is a product called a ram bar. Your just saying the push bars are not meant for raming into cars or animals at high speed. They are meant for pushing stuff at low speed. They will reduce damage done to your vehicle but the laws of physics still apply.
Hey just a question does it matter what year your car needs to be to have a certain bumper or it doesn't matter
As long as the manufacturer states it's designed for your vehicle, you should be fine.
I have 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd. What do you recommend push bar or bull bar ?
What do you want it for? Just to mount lights or something that might take an impact offroad?
Just to mount the light. I am kind of debating which one to go with. I don’t do lot of off road adventure though
@@RamKrishna-mm5cw Get the bull bar, more choices and cheaper.

Well I'm looking for a pushbar when I've bought my own car. But I don't know if that fits on a Volvo XC70('02-'07)🤔
You'll have to customize one. Just use thick plate steel.
@@AnthonyJ350 thanks for the tip mate! I take that with me. But what I'm also wondering about is, a pushbar don't hurt any cyclists and voetgangers right? If so, it has been approved according to Dutch law.
@@christenhove5713 You would need one designed specifically and approved for your vehicle.
@@AnthonyJ350 ah okay.
I'm looking into the push bar for my 04 Silverado 4wd. I like the rhino 3150B, however do I need a front plate relocation bracket? I could not tell from the angle of the video.
I started out being really interested in a bull bar but when I realized they really are mostly for looks and most of them have some sort of advertisement on them I decided on something more functional that still looks good. There are animals out here and would at least like to have a fighting chance of something would happen
The push bar I have I didn't have to relocate the plate, had clearance everywhere. I got it for the same reason. Wanted a more aggressive look and somewhat of a fighting chance to be able to drive home if I hit an animal by accident.
Thanks. After looking into the price the cheapest I could find it was Summit (just under $300) and I was actually able to print installation instructions and it actually DOES come with a license plate bracket. Looks like it just moves it father up front instead of it being "hidden" behind the bar.
Ranch hand makes bumpers for your truck

Can I use this gaurd for Toyota Camry
You'll probably have to make custom mounts because there probably isn't one specifically for a Camry.
@Krishan Chaudhry Push bar on a Camry would look so sweeeeeeet!, you could also put a huge wing on the trunk to match, matt black of course
And also paint the hood matt black, to stop glare from the sun in your eyes

How well do each of them do at protecting the front against a crash?
Push bumper will absorb and deform a bit. A bull guard that's aluminum and only has 2 points I assume would cave in. Road Armor or ARB bumpers would be better because they're stronger.
