Article Overview - Bull Bars, Rails & Steps
A vehicle's bull bar, sides steps and rails are known as its "bar work". View Full Article...
What about a rear ladder rack? I have just purchased a factory made one for my Hilux ute.
It is the square steel tube sort that has the same shape as the front default ladder rack.
The rear rack also has mounting brackets that bolt onto the tray floor and i noticed it is higher than the front rack.
My question is, Do i mount the brackets in close as i can to the rear corner or do i come in 10-15cms of so?
Also should it be higher than the front?. All help appreciated.

I guess it happens, but I never met anyone who hit a bull.
Why do you need all that weight and wind resistance?
Without it I reccon you will stop quicker and break less suspension bits.
Overweight vehicles wreck more tyres too, I reccon.
