THE look of a bullbar can make or break the appearance of your new 4x4. Sure, it's there to serve a purpose, and that is to offer protection for the front of the vehicle and your cooling system in the event of an animal strike or scrapes in the bush, but when you've just shelled out $70K or more on a shiny new 4x4, the last thing you want to do is stick a dodgy looking bar on it.
So we were super excited to fit a new bullbar from AFN 4x4 Australia to our Ford Everest project. We previously had a loopless AFN bar on our PX3 Ranger build but we wanted a full bar for this one, and we're impressed with the look of the company's product for the new Ranger.
AFN had not previously fitted the Ranger bar to a new Everest before this, so when it came to the installation it was a case of 'let's see how this works'. The fitting and colour-coding was professionally performed by Paul and the team at Statewide 4x4 in the Melbourne suburb of Keilor East.
