Is this way too much to pay for a second hand alloy bullbar? I know they are hard to find and all, but it does seem like it should cost that when its brand new, not second hand. its currently on ebay.

Brand new alloy bars are over $1000

That's a bargain price. I paid $450 for mine secondhand a few years back.
Mate of mine got a brand new one made up for $1100.
They don't wear out. If it hasn't been hit by anything, polish it up and it will BE new.

Just to be clear though, are you talking about a Bullbar, or a Roobar? Some people don't know the difference...
A Roobar is a tube arrangement which mounts in front of the standard plastic bumper bar.
A Bullbar is a full heavy duty bumper replacement.

$365 is quite steep if it's just a roo bar...

shit! i got my bullbar for $300 and i was laughing and giggling the whole way home! anything round the 300 or under is a dead set bargin in my eys!

The question that needs to be answered is it for an MY or L series?

(Although) Either way its a still a bargan.

$365 for an alloy bullbar second hand. i thought this would be rather steep... one wreckers in melb asks $60 for a bullbar... gotta find one though (almost landed a good looking 4 post replacement bar but it was already sold )

Wow find out the name of the place for me, I'll buy them in bulk!

if the one im thinking of its for a lseries..its all alloy seen it on ebay too the other day....everyone else will bid on it now too hey .....

shit 60buks?!!! id buy 5 just for the fuck of it! hell cheep. let us know

shit yeh i want 5 too at that price

bull bars may be $60 bucks... but finding one is the problem...

If they were there all the time i'd defentately have one by now...

LOL i'll claim one too!

Maybe it's just tassie but:
paid $100 for a secondhand MY bumper replacement bull bar, then 400 for a whole car with a better wrap-around, 14"s, lift, rust, etc.

Bought an L bullbar for $80, with another wrecker quoting $120

Also know of a custom alloy bar that was done locally for around the 300 mark.

But as has been said, finding them at this price can be a problem, just have to keep an eye out.

For 1100 + I would want it to be made from titanium alloy.

So Rod Dog, did you end up getting the bullbar?

I paid $50 for an MY bumper replacment off ebay, theres actually one on the at the moment for $100 last time I checked.

Keep a look out for other cars with bullbars on as well. Ford Courier ones fit really nice on L's with a small bit of ally welding to the mounts..
