If you look on our website on the accessories page you will see the
Projektzwo bull bars that we sell.  I can only tell you about them that
one of my customers hit an antelope with one and it bent the bull bar
some but the front of the van was unhurt.  Pretty tough.  Then they just
bent the bumper back again (torch and welding equipment required) and
they were good to go.  Just FYI.

Thanks,
