TAC Modular Bull Bar Fit 2009-2018 RAM 1500|2019-2023 RAM 1500 Classic (Exclude Rebel&Warlock Trim) Truck Pickup Fine Textured Mesh Version Patent No.: US 10,315,599 B2

I was looking for a bulbar that was different than the usual rounded ones that I see everywhere. I took a chance on this one even though it didn't have much reviews or pictures to see how it looks I went ahead and got it. I'm glad I got this bull bar even though it wasn't that easy to put together.After laying everything out and looking at the picture of the reviewer that posted a few pics of his install,I was able to put it together easily. I saw that this company sells the bar in a combo that includes the light bar but, I instead bought this one so I could choose my own light bar and also because this includes the mesh that's supposed to be where the lightbar goes and I wanted to have the mesh in front of the lightbar. A 20" inch lightbar fits perfect and made it work with the mesh in front of it. I'm glad I chose this lightbar and hope it will last me a long time.

Unique look. Not standard tube. Easy install. Seems sturdy enough.

Love the design. Different than the usual tubular bull bar. The instructions are some what difficult but just keep reading and go back over the work you are doing. Lots of nuts and bolts and washers and no real way to identify which is which. I used a caliper to measure the bolts and nuts so i would no which was for what. The bags are not labeled but in some cases they only fit in certain parts. Seperate everything per the instructions and that helps a lot. i have an 2009 dodge ram 1500 and it fit nicely. Would like to put a light bar in at some point. Looks like a 20 inch light bar fits. If you find that the bolts that fits into the original block on the frame doesn't fit you probably have to clean out the threads in there. Mine had no OEM bolts so lots of rust build up in the hole. cleaned out with a wire bottle brush on my drill and put a dab of grease afterwards. Double check all the nuts and bolts when you think you are done. I found that i missed several and had to tighten up. There are videos on you tube for bull bars installs but none for this model. Many tubular bull bars use the same mounting brackets so look on youtube for an understanding as to how they go.

Purchase this to mount on my Ram 1500 and wanted to be a little different then all the round ones you see, was pretty easy to install I did this myself would definitely be a lot easier if you had help but looks great appears sturdy and great value

Looks very nice. Took about 2 ¹/² hours to put together and install by myself. FYI, if you have an oscillating tool, you do not need to remove your splash guard. If you do not have one, you can get one for cheap at harbor freight. Anyways I love the look. Goes well with my flat tyger side bars. Exact same color and matte finish also.

The delivery was pretty quick. Got there within 4 days. Ordered on Sunday, arrived Thursday. Overall I'm satisfied with the purchase. Like most people have said, the build wasn't smooth at all. The instructions are not the greatest. It's important to pay attention to the details. There's a step that ask you to use 12mm bolt but there are two different kind. One with regular thread and one with fine thread. I tried using a regular bolt on a area that needed fine thread, and wasted time and energy trying to figure out what was wrong. Maybe it's just me.

I liked that it was sturdy. I liked the shape, and how it looked with other items on my truck. I even liked the finish of the paint job, until I realized how crappy it was painted. Less than a year after owning it, little dime sized spots of rust have bloomed all over the face and sides of the thing. I'll try to get some photos added on here soon. Very disappointing.

I did a bit of shopping around for a bull bar. I really dug how this squared off design was different from a lot of the other ones with the rounded look. Install wasn't too bad for the product itself -- removing the splash guard on the truck to install this was the hardest part (and that's not the bull bars fault!). The directions were pretty straight forward from that point. I can't speak to durability in the sense that I don't plan on crashing into things to test it, but aesthetically, I approve. ;)

Very easy to install and great quality material
