Bully Bar with Offset

[Marlin]

I brought a new member into the fold today, one of my students bought the ebony that was in North Carolina, a steal!!! He got it for 3200 out the door. I haven't looked at it yet, but I warned him about the pervs that troll the site I can't hang out with him at all,that would be fraternization, but I told him I could offer him pointers when needed.

That's why I call it a bully bar.

Here's my new "bully bar" installed....
I ended up liking it a bit more than I thought I was going to...it's still kinda fugly, but it's useful since it can absorb some impact. It also makes a great step so you can get to the roof rack, CB antenna, etc much easier...

Yup, saw him and Pat last weekend. Got the hitch installed so I can now finally use the bully bar /bumperette (sorry James )from superbumper.com

Ya gotta get those shakles and the bully bar powder coated purple.

Maroon, pink, purple, red, black - I'm starting to get confused.

I don't have a bully bar on my hitch but rather an ultrasonic rear-view sonar array. Very batman. Its a collision avoidance system rather than obstacle destruction system. Works well as a poor mans rear cam and very sturdy to use as a step too! If it fails to warn, I'm sure I'll hear the crunch of the plastic fail which gives a tertiary level of protection... hehe

* Wired or wireless trailer hitch mount rear collision avoidance system
* Takes away the blind spot while backing your vehicle
* A loud progressive alert sounds from an audio unit inside the vehicle when your vehicle comes within 7 feet of objects and people
* Avoid injury to family member or pet and damage to vehicle
* Sensors transmit invisible ultrasonic waves that bounce back from stationary or moving objects as the vehicle is backing up
* As the vehicle gets closer, the alert beeps faster
* Audible alert progresses when you reach within 5 feet
* Audible alert remains steady when you approach within 3 feet
* Ultrasonic technology to help you detect objects that you are unable to see
* Automatically scans behind your vehicle to detect objects within your path when reverse gear is engaged
* Designed for almost any vehicle with a 2 inch or one and one fourth of an inch hitch receiver
* Sensor housing can be used as a step – 250 lbs max
* Locks into the hitch receiver
* 7-way connector plugs into vehicle receptor
* Includes 2-pin power cable for use on vehicles without 7-way receptacle

This pic shows a fair representation mounted to the Da'lan hitch.

I have the Isuzu OEM version of this backup sensor. Works okay, progressive beeping is a bit erratic. I have it turned off right now.

Say what!? I had one on my previous car so I know what it does, but tell me more about what you have. Must be from another Isuzu model I'm guessing.

Not sure where it came from, one of the previous owners must have installed it. I'm on the BB (training is super boring) so you'll have to flip through my gallery to find the pic, but there are 3-4 sensors mounted in the rear cladding. The control unit for it is installed in the tire iron storage compartment, and the on/off/volume switch is mounted on the passenger side of the center console.

Here you go Sue, I was wrong on the number of sensors, it's just two, which probably explains some of the inaccuracy. You can see them pretty clearly in this pic:
