Will the bar rub the bumper if you push on it?

No, it is very solid and doesn't touch the bumper. I bought some grade 8 bolts as I wasn't sure of the grade of bolts that came with it. I don't know what would happen if I hit a deer but I hope that the grill area is protected. This is on 2011 Toyota tacoma

It all depends on how much protection you really feel that you want. I have the 3.0, and I am sure that it has saved my bumper some serious dings!

The bar is made specifically for the bestop bumper, I bought the bumper and bar together and never tried to use the bar on my stock bumper. I assume you could custom build something that would allow you to attach the bar to the stock bumper but the bar is not intended to be used with the stock bumper.

Hi...do you find that the bars will flex up and down while driving at higher speeds with the cargo box installed? Thank you!

No, but I did have to remove the plastic piece between the bumper and the grill, which wasn't all that difficult in order to get to the bolts that go through the frame for the bar. If I had had a magnet, I may not of even had to do that as it may have been reached from below. But it was easier to just remove the cover and tighten them.

Stop before the accupark bar and ease up on it very slowly until you just feel the car bump it. In other words, you stop before the bar.

No. It is attached to the sidebars & doesn't move, once you've put it together. However the speed & incline adjustments are on the arms as well as the console.

I didnt have any issues with mine, however, sometimes the finish is thicker at the end of the bars, make sure this isnt the issue.

Its kind of a little slick. The bumper guards on the sides are very grippy, but when lying flat on the back it will slide

I have used the rack with carbon rims and the straps do touch the rims to secure the wheel but I have not noticed any rubbing. The large plastic piece only touches the tires.

The bar is too thin, so the fat gripz won't be gripping tight the bar. You can still somehow use them, but it's far from ideal.

No, the bar in the middle would prevent the front wheel from being attached to anything.

If it is a normal trailer bumper then it will not interfere. I use the spare tire as an extra point to tie the bikes off to keep them on the rack.

My answer would be no. If the little rear hooks on each side were straight down, then I'd say yes. But since they curve upward, I think they would rub against your wall, depending on the space between the bar & the wall.

It's a good bumper, if you plan on using the bull bar though I'd recommend spraying some paint into the drain holes in the bottom of the bars plates that sit on the bumper. I had some rust residue after the first couple rains.

I have Olympic Rings set up in this bar and usually can do ring push-ups, dips, and ring rows without issues. However, this bar does have a lot of movement and tends to sway when applying more complicated movements. Hopefully this is helpful.

The front skid plate doesn't connect to the bumper if I remember but it has been a year since I installed it but I do remember it was extremely heavy so be sure to have a friend help you. Good luck and by the way it looks great.
