Why You Should Consider a Rear Bar for Your 4x4
Author: Grand 4x4
Many 4x4 owners invest in modifications and accessories, but much of the attention often focuses on the front of the vehicle. Common concerns and priority additions for 4x4 owners include bull or nudge bars, new lights, or a winch attachment. What about the rear of your vehicle, though? You can make important changes back there, too—changes that can improve functionality and let you do more. A rear bar is all you need to make the change.
GRAND4x4 offers a direct way to the upgrades you need with heavy-duty solutions fabricated from high-quality steel. Why consider one of these accessories?
What Is a Rear Bar?
True to its name, a rear bar is a steel assembly that mounts to the back of your vehicle. However, unlike bull bars that may mount over the existing front of a 4x4, most act as a total bumper replacement. Once professionally fitted to the vehicle, the bar replaces the standard bumper with a more durable unit. Rear bars can offer you some distinct advantages. Some come with storage racks - others provide vehicle protection with functional and aesthetically pleasing towing features.
What are the benefits of adding a rear bar?
Adding a rear bar to your 4x4 can help improve towing stability, but it also brings other benefits. For example, you can expand your carrying capacity. We stock rear bars with space for a spare wheel carrier and two jerry cans. The back bar provides a safe, secure location to keep your cans handy when you need extra fuel or water for those long off-road hauls. Rear bars can also offer you winch points, so it’s an essential upgrade for those planning longer trips or off-road excursions.
How to select a bar that suits your 4x4
All our rear bars feature construction designed exclusively for specified vehicles. Rear bars must carefully match the contours of vehicles to provide maximum stability and strength. Check our product descriptions for details about which vehicles can accept each of our rear bars. We have solutions for Toyota Landcruisers, Nissan Patrols, Toyota Prados and many more. We do not recommend self-installation of these kits or provide fitting instructions. For safety and reliability, we recommend professional fitment of all rear bars.
