I can't believe how these new cars are just held together with clips and screws, be crazy not to get a bar installed. Great video clear information 👌

[@philruhle3537]

You have taken the mystery out of installing a bar. I think people will now know if they are able to install one themselves or not. Also the mystery of the broken foot. Thanks for putting your body on line, another great video.

[@thataussiefisho6397]

Definitely no hoop is the go. Especially with how sexy the dmax front already is designed. Keep that mean look and still have the protection of a bar. I’m currently looking at the ambush bars for mine when it comes but we’ll see what happens because this one is mint 👌👌.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yeah def love the lights etc on the front end of these

[@JoshuaDragon22]

Argh. Where was this video 5 days ago. You make it look so easy I could have installed it myself and saved $600. Great video as always mate. Keep ‘em coming.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Arrg ah well

[@HDGHOLD]

Love this style and reckon this would be plenty for my needs. Thanks so much for these videos, love how thorough you are going through each step.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Cheers!

[@zt1243]

I managed to score myself one of these bars! I'm so excited to give it a crack once it arrives using your vid as a guide. I'd also just like to say a big thanks on behalf of the entire VSMH community. Your videos are informative and of great quality and all your efforts are appreciated greatly :)

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Thanks 👍

Can i ask how much the bar was Z T?? Im also looking at one.

@@jakerichardson8881 I paid $1140 including delivery. Couldn't find it on the Cane Toad Equipment website but they have an ebay store that I bought it off

This video is definitely encouraging to give it a go yourself. Personally im more a fan of the hoops, either way this video has helped heaps

[@ryankinninment8318]

Well that didn't look as hard as I expected!

[@Anthony-Parsons]

Lookin good mate. Keep up the great vids.

[@robertarmbruster5650]

A great video, the new bar looks OEM and video detail was exceptional. It appears you did not use the additional cushioning edge strip you showed earlier, I think it would have made the side look better at the bar interface to the mudguard arch strip. A big fat rubber all around the top of the bar would fill the gaps really well. Even though the side of the bullbar to the mudguard at the side aligns well, the gap looks a little large. The VSMH in the bar grill is a really nice touch.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Thanks mate 👍 yes it's a balance between the gap, really gotta have 10-20mm for vibration particularly across proper corrugations. Have tried a few different edges now, you can see on the lights vid today, just have the side gap for the.moment reckon looks the goods

[@gusbulmer2778]

Had my DMax is May 2021 and absolutely love it. Next mod is to install 40” light bar

[@donks5306]

great video mate, very easy to follow with clear instructions.

[@TheScrawley1]

Another great video. Can I ask you what your thoughts are on the Dpchipx you fitted. Thanks, Shane.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hey mate cheers 👍 Yeah still a fan, has made a good difference to driveability. Still have the follow up vid to release with findings etc (waiting for trailer to get back to so I can do the last bit of the vid!!)

Hey mate, no unfortunately came with the bar

Great work Adam

[@jakerhodes9002]

How do you find the cane toad bullbar? I'm in the market for one and have just stumbled across their hooped design one.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yeah still running it, it copped it on the cape trip but still good, you'll see more of it in the upcoming winch refresh vid

[@julianperuch9277]

As an Auto Mechanical Engineer and a career in many fields, doesn't make me an expert, we all should know what an expert is? For whom believes or thinks that they know every but a knower of nothing, meet many of them, LOL. Definitely an EXCELLANT and informative break down and refitment vid. BUT! If you are going to fit a Winch Bar because to go through this process, why was not a WINCH fitted at the same time as it shouldn't be an afterthought considering fact of again "removal" required. As to you mentioning Glass House Mountain "Tracks" I know that area... Also, using the chair was a good idea, I have one better!! Do you have a floor jack, Remove the Lift Plate, make a "H" frame with attachable arms " to fit any Bull Bar" it can be bolted to the jack. then you can position the bar with ease. Make this and you will have more friends. LOL. Considering I made one for a mate some long time ago and in his opinion / great Idea. I was thinking of a Patent. Anyone can do anything creative. Like my father use to say /upstairs for thinking / downstairs for dancing and in-between your problem .... Cheers

[@TurtleWurdle]

Probably due to the fact not everyone can afford 6-7 grand in one go with a bullbar and winch, I highly doubt there would be much difference, or else they wouldn’t put them on after if it could potentially effect the vehicle in the future

[@jdoubles]

Hey Adam, any reason why you went for just the one recovery point, other than cost? I'm picking up a pair tomorrow, and I've already got a Maxtrax static rope I can use as an equalizer if I need to. Just keen to know your perspective. Cheers mate.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hey, one would be fine, I just had access to purchase at the time from a guy on the forum. Am planning on grabbing another though as gives more recovery options 👍

[@jdoubles]

@@VideoShowMeHow nice. Cheers mate.

[@zarajoe1]

I don't know if your still reading these comments but if you are how have the lights been going with the side brackets removed. I recently fitted a full bumper replacement bar and had to remove those black brackets on the sides of the headlights that attach to the bottom. I found that the lights are a little wobbly after removing them. I remembered this video and came back to it to see you also removed yours. Was removing the side light brackets something you were concerned about or has everything been fine?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hi there, yes have added light brackets on the sides just after the install, I'd recommend adding some. If the bar you got didn't include them you could make up a pair pretty easy, just need some flat alloy/1.6 gal, then 2 small bends and couple of nut and bolts.

[@zarajoe1]

@@VideoShowMeHow thanks for the reply. Going to have to look into doing something about it then. Little annoying

[@VideoShowMeHow]

@@zarajoe1 yeah, over time would no doubt stress the headlights and also likely run on that back corner imo

[@zarajoe1]

@@VideoShowMeHow yeah noticed the light is now resting on on the quarter panel. Making a bracket should be easy enough fitting it without removing the bar is going to be a bit of fun

Hey mate, Great bar any update if Cane Toad have this in engineering and will be bringing it to market?

No update since I checked last, worth dropping them a note

Hey mate who makes that bill bar. I like the shape and layout. Do they make one similar for the Ford Ranger.?

Hey, was a prototype from CaneToad Equipment, I think they sell them now though worth a look.. I'll find a link and update the description

[@chrisobrien3574]

Looks good, but no bar for DMax on the CaneToad site, I guess with the VSMH initials it's a custom build?

Yes, this isn't currently for sale, but may be in the near future.. will update the vid with the details if it does
