Bull bars provide extra protection for your vehicle as an extra device is installed on the front of your vehicle to protect it from collisions and rough and rugged elements. Heavy duty 4×4 bull bars are seen to be very useful for 4×4 vehicles who spend a lot of time in rural settlements or who are from farming communities due to the high probability of hitting game/feral animals.

In many instances where vehicles have fitted heavy-duty bull bars on their vehicles and have collided with a stray animal, their vehicle is seen to not have as much damage, perhaps protecting the radiator and enabling them to drive home rather than being stuck in the middle of nowhere.
