Owl Bull Bar

Highly recommend the Owl bull bar.

Looks great. They are working in a killer bumper as well.

I think the bumper is out now - right? At least for pre-order?

Not a fan. The curvature of the bar not cohesive with the angular shapes of the grenadier.

Owl should have done something like this:

This is attention to details. See how the radius of the bar corner matches the radius of the fender corner?

This owl bar introduces a plethora of odd shapes to the most prominent portion of the vehicle. The visual value proposition of the vehicle is greatly diminished. Also hate how the bottom bar protrudes beyond the weld joint with the vertical bar, by about 1/4”. It just looks haphazard

The Owl bar is pretty similar to the factory bull bar.

I don't hate it, but I like the shape of the GP Factor bullbar more.

I wish the GP Factor bar had the nice finishing pieces on the bumper to hide the mounting bolts and I wish the Owl Bar didn’t have that awkward shape and weld at the lower outside corners. That said, glad both companies are at least giving us options for North America.

Gp Factor's is the best looking IMHO. I don't like the owl branded bolt covers. Looks like some sort of solar panel. I feel this is the most true to form.

Both the Owl and the OEM bars have a lifted top center - which allows you to put in the hidden light bar in the top slot on the grill without the bar blocking it. Does the GP Factor bar cover that top slot? Hard to tell from the angle of the picture.

Looking at the first picture on the product page the top bar looks like it wont block the light going directly forward/down, but probably blocks the light projected vertically above the hood level

Yeah I’ve been looking at their website and had the same opinion - would kind of cut off the top - and maybe make a shadow line???

Don't believe so. I'll say if you rewire the two middle lights they are very bright. Put them on an overhead 10A switch and they're pretty blinding.

I was hoping to do the hidden light bar and swapping out the middle OEM offroad lights for SAE fog lights on a switch.
