Bullbar / Wheel arch flares

A bullbar is a device fitted to the front of a vehicle to protect its occupants in a collision with a large animal. They vary considerably in size and form, and are usually made of welded steel or aluminium tubing, and, more recently, moulded polycarbonate and polyethylene materials. 

Bullbars are sometimes used as a platform for mounting spotlights and vehicle recovery winches. Radio antennas for equipment such as CB radios are often mounted onto bullbars, even though mounting above the roof provides better performance.
