lasty Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I was wondering if anybody knew if a bull bar for a UK Transit would work on my 2012 US Transit. This is the one I am interested in and hoping it just bolts up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103west43rd Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Hello lasty. Take a look at the push bars from Aries and Setina. The Aries is a much lower profile. I have it on my Transit Connect. The Setina is full size similar in size to what you are looking for. What is the shipping cost from the UK on the Bull Bar? I have not read of any forum members that have imported a Bull Bar from the UK. An educated guess would be it would fit. Any differences between right/left hand drive, and diesel/gas engines would seem to not make any difference on where the Bull Bar would mount. You should ask the seller if they have sold any to US customers. Good Luck.

lasty Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 The seller quoted me 40 pounds for shipping. I was expecting it to be much more actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasty Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Here are a couple pictures of the bar installed. If anybody is interested in getting one of these for a US Transit it was not a simple bolt on, the brackets ended up need modified and some AC and cooling lines needed rerouted. Thant being said it is made of quality stainless and I am very happy with how it turned out. operating engineer O/O 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103west43rd Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Lastly, thanks for posting your project! You are the first on this forum to install a Bull Bar! What model lights did you install? operating engineer O/O 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomerweps Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I think the aires bar looks cheesy, sorry. I love that UK bull bar but don't want to pay the full cost to the US and then have to make modifications to it to make it fit ;(. I don't know why a US maker hasn't come up with one.
