Rockarmor Gt Hoop Steel Bullbar - Toyota Hilux N70 12-15

GT HOOP STEEL BULLBAR - TOYOTA HILUX N70 12-15

Designed locally in Australia, Rockarmor's all-new GT Hoop Steel Bullbar series offers a sleek, modern look that perfectly complements the style of late-model Toyota Hilux N70s. Built with maximum frontal protection in mind, this bull bar not only shields your vehicle from impacts but also enhances its overall appearance, giving your Hilux a tougher, more aggressive presence on the road or off-road.

The GT hoop steel bullbar is crafted to improve your vehicle’s off-road capabilities. It features higher approach angles for more confident navigation over rough terrain, built-in rated recovery points for safe off-road recoveries, and multiple provisions for essential accessories such as electric winches, driving lights, and UHF communication antennas. These features make it easier and safer to tackle challenging conditions while keeping your vehicle well-prepared for adventure.

One of the key benefits of this full bumper replacement steel bull bar is that it installs without cutting the factory bumper. It's engineered to seamlessly fit your Toyota Hilux N70 while maintaining compatibility with front safety features like the safety camera and bumper sensors. The construction uses durable 2.8mm high-quality steel, providing maximum protection without adding unnecessary weight.

The finishing touch is a highly durable black powder coat that resists rust and scratches, ensuring your bullbar remains looking sharp for years to come. If you prefer a custom look, optional colour matching is available through your local Rockarmor distributor, allowing you to match or contrast your vehicle’s paintwork easily.

When it comes to features and specifications, the GT hoop steel bullbar delivers excellent value. It includes built-in 3.2-tonne rated recovery points, ensuring you're ready for recovery situations. The 52mm top cross tube offers robust frontal protection, while laser-cut holes provide easy mounting points for driving lights. A sturdy extended centre bash plate helps protect vital underbody components from debris and impacts. The design ensures compatibility with airbag systems and factory sensors, so your vehicle's safety features remain functional after installation.

The bullbar is equipped with twin slotted antenna mounts on the top cross tube, providing convenient placement for communications gear. Twin Hi-Lift jack points integrated into the design allow for quick, accessible recovery operations. Front buffers are included to absorb minor impacts, and there's ample space to accommodate electric winches up to 12,000 pounds—perfect for serious off-road adventures.

Additional protection is offered through side under-body protection panels, while laser-cut holes enable the installation of additional driving lights to improve visibility during night driving or off-road pursuits. The entire assembly undergoes shot blasting and chemical washing processes before receiving the high-quality black powder coat finish, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance in rugged environments.

INSTALLATION

To stay compliant with NZTA regulations, all daytime running lights should be installed separately from your factory headlights. Also, remember to adjust the fog lights downward by about three degrees for proper alignment.

If your suspension hasn’t been upgraded to handle an additional 60-100kg (like a steel bullbar and optional winch), we highly recommend doing so—especially in the front. Upgrading your suspension will prevent your vehicle from sagging or becoming bumpy, which can lead to further damage or compromised safety. A proper suspension setup ensures you maintain optimal ride quality and handling, even with the added weight of the bullbar and accessories.

When mounting the bullbar, leave at least a 10-15mm gap between the edge of the bullbar and the vehicle body. This space allows for independent movement of the chassis and body, reducing stress and potential damage over time, particularly on rough terrains or during heavy use.
