Bull Bar for '05 TLC 100

[CC Shuett]

Does anyone know if there is a chrome bull bar made for the 2005 100 Series LC? I've been searching for over a year and can not locate a stock (or slight mod) bar the style I want. Pictured below.

Any help is appreciated.

Westin doesn't have a push bar in chrome?

I have a TJM nudge bar...fits in my '98....don't know if that version fits on a '05

 

[CC Shuett]

Thanks, mobi-arc!

I think the TJM T16 is what I'm searching for.

Ditto on that being a nudge bar. Nudges shopping carts out of the way.

Not sure that TJM carries chrome, but some models come in aluminum, like mine.

Stays shiny for a couple of months.

YIKES!! Mcneill, does the aluminium really get dull quickly?? That's not acceptable for a 'stylin' chick like me

 

[macneill]

Yep. Of course you could hit it with Brasso or Cape Cod Polish every month...

You know, ckkone, I may just get the center protector you pictured from Jaos. I am going to order the rear skid bar (below) from them anyway. I had my mind set on the TJM T-16 style nudge bar but they are like XTerras. You see hundreds of them on the road. Dare to be different, right?

THANKS!

Run! Run away from Jaos. They suck. I had that rear skid bar before I put on the TJM steel bumper. It was the biggest piece of crap. Wheeled once and the center plate tore off.

Then again, if you are looking for a cosmetic piece of bling. Then it's fine. ;p

I agree for wheeling there is much better equipment available. But if you just want some chrome, then go for it!

 

[CC Shuett]

Will you guys please give me a consensus if you think JAOS sucks because of the quality/engineering of their products as opposed to your rough & tough scale?

My '05 100 isn't going in the mud and my middle name is bling... CC 'Bling' Shuett!! It doesn't matter if the shoes hurt, as long as they LOOK GOOD!!

On the other hand, I don't want to replace bric-a-brac on my Crusher because of cheesy products.

I really appreciate all your help. You have given me links to information I was unable to locate on my own!!

 

[macneill]

At least you're bein' honest!

JAOS's quality is good as far as I'm concerned. Hey, it's Japanese right?

Their bars are polished stainless.

I really like aluminum, it weighs less.

This seems to be important with the active suspension. Has anybody here installed this TJM alu bumper with a winch on a LX or LC with the active suspension? Are there any problems weight wise? How does it ride? Do you have a link where I can check this bumper out?

 

[ckkone]

The quality is good for the street, but its not built for the trail. If your middle name is bling check this out:

Wow, that hurt my eyes...

YIKES........ckkone..........'Fabulous' is horrid (I hope we don't know the owner?) I thought 'bling' was shiny stuff like chrome and diamonds??????

I want my rig to LOOK like you guys' trail rigs but it doesn't have to perform like yours. She just sits on the sidelines and looks good!!!

Sorry, we have different definitions of bling

Even if I knew the owner I would not admit to it, and I agree it is horrid

This one looks like its made out of aluminum. Or was is just painted to match? Looks like an ARB. There is no ARB style winch bumper made of alu?

The picture wont show in the quote, please see above.
Is this a TJM? It sure looks very offroad worthy. To be able to replace my 95 RC classic I need to do a lot of work to this LX!
