    I'm looking into adding a bull bar to my rene. Are these easy to install? Please share pics if you have one!

    I put the RRO bull bar on my trailhawk. I really like it! Easy to install, just bolt it on over the tow hooks. I opted to get their skid plate with it, but you can get it without. IMG_6042.JPG IMG_6043.JPG IMG_6044.JPG IMG_6202.JPG

    That looks great! I really like the skid plate, I hadn't thought of getting one until I saw yours and could immediately see how functional it would be.

    They told to expect a 4-6 week wait. I got it 29 days after I ordered it, but that's not including shipping time. I live about 40 minutes away from their shop so I was able to pick it up the day they finished it.

    When you installed the skid plate, how does it attach to the underside? (Can't tell from photos). Also, did you need to drill anything? Thanks

    It bolts on where the front of the stock skid plate is screwed in. It comes with new screws that are long enough. No, no drilling needed. Although I did have to grind a tiny bit of plastic where the tow hooks are for the bar to fit above them. But it was very minimal. It's included in the instructions, and if I took the bar off it wouldn't be noticeable. I'll take some pics of where the plate attaches and where I had to grind when I get home from work tonight.

    Thanks, it seems like a pretty simple install. I contacted RRO they told me to expect about six weeks to get it, like you said. I think I will order one and the lights from eBay. I will post pics after installed.

    Do you need to take off the added skid plate to change the oil ?

    I ordered the bull bar from RRO but I forgot about the front license plate. Could you post photos of the clearance between the bull bar and bumper? I may need to remove the license plate frame. IMG_20170520_121220.jpg

    I don't have any photos of it now. I'll take some later today. I bet you will have to take it off though. Do you live in a state that requires a front plate?
