In the year it is 2021 part availability is providing a few challenges. When Adam contacted me in regards to upgrading his 2020 200 series GX Landcruiser with a winch and bull bar, I didn’t have high hopes of a speedy installation. We were able to source both the offroad animal bullbar & runva winch in a more than the acceptable time frame for Adam.
Adams 200 series GX LandCruiser bullbar
Adam contacted Power Curve looking for a bullbar for his newly acquired 200 series LandCruiser. Adam had done his research and had the offroad animal bull bar in mind. One of the hardest points when looking to add aftermarket accessories to your new vehicle these days is not so much the ADR approval of the product, most have these. The hardest thing is acquiring a product that will work with your models’ accessories and electronics. The 200 series comes with more models and options than we care to want to believe and this makes aftermarket accessories a costly and time constraining product to produce for manufactures. Adam had done his homework on the offroad animal bar. Power Curve has learnt over time that bull bars do not just fit onto vehicles. There is a lot of great online information regaring the offroad animal bar with fitting insturctions, availability and all of the items the offroad bullbar offer. Due to the set up we agreed to supply and fit the offroad animal bullbar.
Toro Bull bar, Suitable for Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series, 2015 on
Hail to the king, yep Land cruiser King of the off-road. Time to make it better, much better. Enhance those good looks and get people looking with this modern bar from Offroad Animal. Don’t settle for same old Vanilla bars offered by the rest. Get something that not only looks the best, but has awesome features too.
Toro means Bull in Spanish. Perfect for a bull bar right. I think so, if you don’t, well skip on and don’t cry about it. No body likes whingers.
Everyone has a boring old ARB or TJM bar. Yeah I know, yawn, seen it all before. How about you stand out from the crowd and get something that shows your wild and fun side.
Benefits.

Adams bullbar and winch installation
Power Curve supply and install bullbars and winches on a regular basis. However, these jobs never seem to be the same and the recommended fitting time suppliers offer are laughable. Even brand new to fit aftermarket products if done with care and to sit correctly, evenly and to trim up all the loose ends take considerably more time than recommended for us, and we have all the tools required as well as experience at hand. Most bull bars suprisingly do not come assembled. The most complicated we have had to put together would be the rhino coming in so many pieces, looking just as good and super easy to fit is the Rival bar, our guys would kiss the ground you walk on to fit a rival bar. They both look great, work and are fantastic bars but one takes 10 times longer to fit. The offroad animal bar comes with a well thought out instruction kit. All the pieces are there and the bar its self is one piece. There are still a lot of pieces as seen in the video that just has to be located and put together. The client had the winch, areal and as you can see a few other accessories pre-installed. All of this comes into play when fitting products and more just something to be mindful of when having fit or fitting anything aftermarket. If I was to fit this my self at home as a DIY allow a few beers, mates and 1-3 days depending on your skill level. Or Ikea fitting level.
