Vanguard Off-Road® VGFDL-1037-1161SS - A Bar Series Front Double Layer Polished Bumper Guard

After confusion about how to install on my 2018 Chevy Equinox due to no instructions coming with the bull bar package it was installed yesterday. I went back to the manufacturer and they sent some pictures which my mechanic was able to use. There is a dust shield which must be removed on the 18's that interferes with installing. Once installed though the bar is a substantial package and I trust will even keep a deer from doing damage to my car. In fact, my first comment when seeing it installed was "that even makes the Equinox look like a Chevy." I like it but haven't had it long enough for a serious evaluation. Bill Shaffer.

Looks awesome. Mounted on a 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz. Received on time.Installation took a little while, as the instructions looked like they were the 100th copy of the 100 copy. Overall it looks amazing.

Very nice fit, expert install is essential due to bad instructions. Looks great on truck 22 Ram 1500 Laramie.

Installing this was a piece of cake and only took me about an hour. I like the way it looks but where the problem lies, is where the brackets attach under the vehicle. The driver side is fine because there are no moving parts near it but on the passenger side the bolt is about 2mm away from the serpentine belt pully, so if you take a curb or bottom out the bar you run the risk of pushing the bolt into the pully, which will most certainly cause serious damage to your vehicle. If I can't figure out a work around I may have to return it.

Ya, looks great on my truck ...I was looking for a bumper protector cause I always bump the front end....for some reason. Can mount lights .....looks tough, well made....more low profile....mounting easy....all the holes aligned up well... no drilling....added a couple washers to right sides lower mounting screw to level it out,.......shout out to the packagers on this one....all the way to Hawaii with no nicks....wrapped in cardboard and foam, bubble stuff!!!

This bumper guard/ bull bar is a great alternative to the more invasive bumper options for a 3rd gen Tacoma. The fitment was a bit difficult due to the brackets placement. You have to remove the driver side tow hook which is rendered useless because the holes are blocked by the mounting hardware. The spacing is about 3/4 inch off from where the bracket sits and where the mounts should be. With a little adjustment and a ratchet strap you can get them to meet, otherwise the bolt threading is not long enough to get the nut on. (Haha) Other than that minor issue, I was pleased with the finished look and the way it sits. Makes the front look mean as hell.

Finish and fit were perfect. They were made for the 2019 CRV, but they blocked the anti collusion detection system which would cause random braking. The purchase was a disaster because it’s not worth returning it because of the loss of shipping paid. Beware of this issue. If you don’t have the collision detection system these will work.

Had to have these bumper guards installed seemed like everyone was having a party with my bumpers. Dings everywhere. Love the look. Seems like they’re are of the car. Simply love the appearance. The installation was a bit pricy.

The brackets weren't machine right, had to modify. The bumper vibrates also.

Looks great and fit perfect with the tow hitch I installed at the same time.
