Bull Bar or A Bar

supermed · 02-14-2012, 07:33 PM

Hello everyone,

I bought original rav4 bull bar from ebay for my 1998 vx rav and i need help to install it please.

I would be very grateful for your help.

This is not the Official Equipment from Manufacturer (OEM), so not 'original', but aftermarket. There are hundreds of bullbar versions out there.
It should be positioned like this (there are holes in the chassis behind the bumper, or if they are not, you will have to make them)

Thank you for your help, but i need more than just look behind the bumper, more details if you really want to help me.

How about you take some pictures behind your bumper and post it? Someone might guide you from there.

Sorry, but i cannot hold your hand while screwing those screws in for you.
Hold it like i show on the picture, then get the screws in.
Not that hard, really. It's very straightforward.
You might want to ask someone to help you holding it in place, so you can attach it on the right place.

its easiest to take the brackets off and bolt them in very loosely then bolt the bar to the brackets
then tighten everything up
very easy to install
