Ironman Deluxe Commercial Bullbar

Ironman Deluxe Commercial Bullbar

Best For RC

Pros
  • Tough looking
  • Complete with mounting points - aerial, spotlights
  • Winch compatible with up to 12,000 lbs
  • Built-in indicator and fog lights
  • Built-in recovery points
  • Complete bumper replacement

The Ironman Deluxe Commercial Bullbar offers the protection and functionality that you need in a vehicle used for long drives.

It’s got a tough steel construction offering you maximum protection with polyurethane bumpers that resist abrasion, minimise noise, and reduce weight.

Its A-frame triple loop design offers protection that extends to the headlights, thereby offering full protection to the entire front of the vehicle.

It’s equipped with indicator lights, parking lights, and most importantly, fog lights making it ready to use for long drives on dark roads.

Furthermore, it’s compatible with up to 12,000 lbs winch making it ideal on serious trails.

The Ironman Deluxe Commercial Bullbar fits directly to the brackets of the existing bumpers for ease of installation.

This bullbar is highly recommended for Colorado RC owners who are looking for a reliable bull bar for long drives and occasional off-roads.

Dobinson Classic Black Bull Bar

Dobinson Classic Black Bull Bar

Honourable Mention

Pros
  • CNC cut - made with precise fitment
  • High-grade steel - offers maximum protection
  • Separate winch - attaches to the chassis allowing for more load
  • Built-in LED indicator and park lights
  • Very affordable
  • Full coverage - includes headlight protection
Cons
  • Boxed design
  • Very heavy - may lower the ride height of the vehicle
  • No fog light

The Dobinson Classic Black Bull Bar screams strength. It’s got a powder-coated finish, solid straight lines, and a great tough design.

It’s made with high-quality steel, CNC cut, bent, and welded for precision and perfect fitment. It has a 3mm thick main body and a whopping 4mm + 5mm thick bracketry.

This thing is an absolute beast when it comes to strength. However, there’s a downside…

The Dobinsons Classic Black Bull Bar weighs around 100-120kg which is too much for your vehicle’s factory suspension and will definitely lower your vehicle’s ride height.

Not great when you’re trying to drive your vehicle off-road. The manufacturers recommend that you upgrade your suspension if you install this RG Colorado bullbar, which will lift the overall price of this install.

Nevertheless, the Dobinsons bull bar offers a very high-quality bullbar for a very affordable price. Perfect for RG Colorado owners looking to score a great deal.

XROX Bullbar

XROX bullbar

Best For Tough Trails

Pros
  • Very affordable
  • Lightweight
  • Lots of mounting points for different gear
  • Winged design - easy to install and replace when damaged
  • Has zinc undercoat - resists rust and corrosion
  • Cross over tubes construction - built for hard terrains
Cons
  • The design is not very appealing
  • Made to order - takes 7-8 weeks to deliver
  • Lacks headlight protection

If you’re looking for a bull bar that can handle extreme off-road conditions, the XROX bullbar could be your best bet.

They’re specifically made from the demands of serious off-road competition giving you the perfect blend of protection and performance.

Made of high-quality steel tubes, the XROX bull bar offers protection without the added weight of the steel plates. In addition, they’re undercoated with zinc coating to prevent rust and corrosion.

The XROX bull bar also offers its smart “winged” design that allows you to remove any of the three-piece nudge bars for easy repair or replacement.

In terms of performance off-the-road, they have a steep incline in the wings offering maximum clearance for better approach angles. And they’re very light compared to the other bull bars on this list.

Equipped with multiple mounting points, this Colorado bull bar can be fully customised according to the gear you need, such as a winch, spotlights, fog lights, and aerials. All that for less than $1,400.

But there are some downsides though. With regards to the design, they’re not very modern-looking. In addition, they don’t have a triple loop design to include headlight protection.

Ordering them can take a while too. Because they’re made to order, it’ll take them 7-8 weeks after your payment confirmation before they can deliver.

Nevertheless, they’re great for those who want to participate in extreme off-road adventures.
