Toyota Tacoma Bull Bar Installation

Installing a bull bar on a 2018 Toyota Tacoma only requires a few basic hand tools and is easy enough that anyone can do it. The bull bar makes the Tacoma look much better in my opinion and helps to protect the front of the truck.
Toyota Tacoma's are a popular truck and there is an entire industry of aftermarket parts for the Tacoma available.

Good DIY instructional video with the kind of tips & tricks you usually don’t figure out until you are knee deep into the project. Good views on the video and good editing - Thank y’all!

[@BeyondtheBoom]

Thanks for watching and please check out my channel for more

[@anabelleesilva8111]

Thank you! Finally really good instructions can’t wait to install it on my Taco!!

[@BeyondtheBoom]

Thanks for watching and be careful trimming the splash guard if you use it.

Ordered mine, but I hate how skinny the brackets look. Idk if a welder can make something custom. It goes from a 3” bar to skinny mounts and I don’t like it, looks weak

[@BeyondtheBoom]

Agreed

[@Michaelobama184]

I just ordered one and I thought the same thing. It's more just for looks I guess.

[@ExploreAnywhere]

@@Michaelobama184 just realized I had responded to the wrong thread. But I’ve had mine for 2 months before the brackets broke. I use it daily in the desert and bumps made the wobble snap the welds. I had it reinforced.

​@@ExploreAnywhereCool thanks. I'm finally getting around to installing my Bull Bar

[@ExploreAnywhere]

@@Michaelobama184 enjoy!! Been a while time to make the truck better

[@sambee5748]

great video thank you.
Can i still mount the license plate with no problem?

[@BeyondtheBoom]

Yes,

[@vanlan8888]

I would like to see how you trim the splash guard if possible. Thank you.

[@BeyondtheBoom]

Tin snips.

[@wb4514]

Good information. At 6:40 are you able to break the nuts loose with a 3/8 ratchet or do you need the leverage of a 1/2" ? Thanks.

[@BeyondtheBoom]

Get a 1/2 and make it easier on yourself

[@Shaunny101]

For the Bull bar bracket, how do you tell the left side bracket from the right side?

[@BeyondtheBoom]

They're marked

[@drewrodriguez3877]

Hi! I got everything off except the hex nuts. How do I get those off my 14mm isn’t getting the nut 🥲

[@BeyondtheBoom]

You should be able to get them.

[@danieldasilva7068]

Mine are stuck on really tight as well i cant break them loose

[@barbwire7449]

Does installing a bull bar interfere with any sensors on 2023 Tacoma?

[@BeyondtheBoom]

That will depend on which one you go with. This one does not interfere with mine.

[@barbwire7449]

@@BeyondtheBoom How about the "Rough Country". It is heavier.

[@matthewcaughey8898]

@@BeyondtheBoom I think anything that leaves the area around the sensor clear dose not bother it. Might have to use a bull bar to mount my amber Hella 550 fog light kit

[@PolkAudio-dv3bq]

Did it effect the sensor ?

[@BeyondtheBoom]

Not at all

[@georgesawtooth]

Why reinstall the splash guard? My Off-Road Edition doesn't even have one.

[@BeyondtheBoom]

I just liked how it looked
