Come the end of the day, a bull bar is not going to turn your vehicle into a tank. They will still bend and break. Some manufacturers just get a heavy bit of steel, others engineer their bars.

Mine is actually a TJM bar and it has taken many solid hits and has never suffered. But come the end of the day I do not want to bend the chassis and would want the bar to bend before the chassis. Also mine is an old vehicle built before crumple zones and other safety design features. If I was in a more modern vehicle I would not want to compromise these safety features. Yes, a bull bar may help you when you hit a smaller car, but you need all the safety features of a car if you hit something more solid.
