Rockarmor Gt Hoop Steel Bullbar - Toyota Hilux N80 Bullbar 2015 -2020

ROCKARMOR GT HOOP STEEL BULLBAR - TOYOTA HILUX 2015-2020

Upgrading your N80 Hilux with the Rockarmor GT hoop steel bullbar is a smart move if you want to boost both style and functionality. This hoop steel bullbar not only gives your vehicle a more aggressive, commanding look but also enhances its overall protection off-road. The design strikes a great balance between rugged toughness and modern aesthetics, making your Toyota Hilux stand out while giving you peace of mind on challenging tracks.

One of the standout features of the Rockarmor GT hoop bullbar is its rated recovery points. Built to handle up to 3.2 tonnes each, these recovery points are soft shackle compatible, making recovery operations straightforward and safe. Whether you're stuck in mud or need to assist another vehicle, these rated recovery points provide reliable anchoring, adding to your off-road confidence. The bullbar also includes a built-in winch cradle designed for electric winches up to 12,000 pounds—ideal if you need pulling power in tough terrain.

Designed with performance in mind, the bullbar features a 51mm top cross tube that offers enhanced frontal protection, especially during impacts with obstacles or debris. Constructed from durable 2.8mm high-quality steel, it provides maximum protection without sacrificing strength. Its high approach angles make it particularly suitable for off-road adventures, allowing better clearance over rough terrain and reducing the risk of getting hung up.

The integrated LED fog lights and LED indicators, compatible with factory controls, add both safety and convenience. They ensure clear visibility in foggy or low-light conditions, helping you navigate tricky tracks with ease. Additionally, the extended silver centre bash plate shields the front of your vehicle, safeguarding vital components from impact and debris during off-road excursions.

To maintain safety standards, the Rockarmor GT hoop bullbar is ADR compliant and features a mounting system compatible with airbags and factory sensors. Side protection panels are included to shield vulnerable areas alongside the main bumper, providing comprehensive coverage while keeping installation straightforward. Twin slotted antenna mounts atop the cross tube give flexibility for communication setups.

The bullbar also includes twin Hi-Lift jack points, facilitating quick recovery situations. Front protection buffers further reduce damage from minor impacts or brush contact, while laser-cut mounting holes allow for the installation of two 9-inch LED driving lights, boosting night-time visibility.

Each bullbar undergoes a shot blasting and chemical washing process to prep the surface against rust, then finished with a premium black powder coat for durability and corrosion resistance. This ensures your investment stays looking great and performs reliably over time.

INSTALLATION

To stay compliant with NZTA regulations, it's important to install daytime running lights separately from your headlights. Remember to adjust the fog lights downward by three degrees for optimal performance and safety.

If your vehicle's suspension isn't upgraded to handle additional weight—about 60-100kg—it's highly recommended to do so, especially at the front. Installing a steel bump bar like this Rockarmor GT hoop bullbar with an optional winch can exert significant load on your suspension. Without proper upgrades, you might experience suspension sag, a bumpier ride, or even damage over time. Upgraded suspension ensures the vehicle handles the extra weight smoothly and maintains stability during off-road runs.

When fitting the bullbar, leave a clearance of about 10-15mm between the bumper and the vehicle body. This space allows for chassis and body movement, preventing undue stress or damage during rough off-road rides.
