Fitting & Installation

Our Expert Fitting and Installation Process

Installing a bull bar or tow bar on your vehicle is not just about enhancing its look; it’s also about boosting functionality and safety. At Fastfit, we use a thorough procedure to ensure a seamless and secure installation.

1. Abide by Manufacturer Guidelines

When installing a bull bar, adhering to the manufacturer’s guidelines is vitally important. Each bull bar comes with specific instructions tailored to its design and the vehicle model. Following these guidelines ensures that the bull bar fits perfectly and functions correctly. Deviating from these instructions can compromise the integrity and safety of the installation, potentially leading to accidents or damage.

2. Pre-Installation Inspection

Before we start any installation work, our team conducts a thorough pre-installation inspection of your vehicle. This step is crucial for identifying any potential issues that could affect the installation process. We’ll check the vehicle’s frame, electrical systems, and any existing accessories to ensure everything is in optimal condition. This careful inspection helps prevent any surprises and guarantees a seamless installation.

3. Utilise Appropriate Tools

Having the right tools at hand is essential for a smooth installation process. Fastfit technicians ensure that no essential tool is missing, which helps maintain the integrity of the installation and avoids any unnecessary delays. Essential tools include torque wrenches, socket sets, and specialised mounting tools. Using the right tools also prevents damage to both the vehicle and the bull bar or tow bar, ensuring a professional finish.

4. Utilise Factory Drilled Holes

Modern vehicles often come with factory-drilled holes designed specifically for accessories like bull bars and tow bars. Fastfit technicians are trained to locate and use these pre-drilled holes, which simplifies the installation process and enhances the overall stability of the setup. By using these holes, we ensure that the bull bar or tow bar is mounted securely without the need for additional drilling, preserving the vehicle’s structural integrity.

5. Bolt Brackets

Securing the bull bar brackets with the correct torque is crucial for ensuring that the bull bar stays in place under various driving conditions. Our technicians use precise torque settings recommended by the manufacturer to bolt the brackets securely. This step is critical because over-tightening can cause stress fractures, while under-tightening can lead to the bull bar becoming loose. Proper torque ensures long-term durability and safety.

6. Install Bars

The final step involves fitting the nudge and custom tow bars tightly into the mounting brackets. This requires precision and care to ensure that everything aligns correctly, and functions as intended. Our technicians carefully adjust each component to guarantee it fits securely and seamlessly with your vehicle’s structure. We double-check all the connections and alignment to ensure optimal performance and safety. This thorough approach not only enhances the durability of the installation but also ensures that your new additions look as good as they function.

At Fastfit, we use the latest equipment and expert techniques to fit bull bars, tow bars, and various other accessories. Our professional installation services are secure, aesthetically pleasing, and built to stand the test of time.

Compromised Safety

One of the most critical risks of improperly installed bullbars and towbars is compromised safety. A poorly fitted bullbar can detach during an impact, offering no protection and potentially causing further damage. Similarly, an incorrectly installed towbar can fail under load, leading to dangerous situations on the road. Undertaking professional installation guarantees that all components meet safety standards and function correctly under stress.

Vehicle Damage

DIY installations can lead to significant vehicle damage. Bullbars and towbars require precise alignment and secure mounting points, typically involving the vehicle’s chassis. Incorrect installation can cause structural damage, affecting the vehicle’s integrity and performance. For instance, drilling holes in the wrong places or using inadequate fasteners can weaken the vehicle frame, leading to costly repairs down the line.

Non-Compliance with Legal Standards

In many regions, automotive accessories must comply with specific legal standards. Bullbars, for example, must meet pedestrian safety norms to avoid posing a risk to other road users. Professional installers are familiar with these regulations and ensure that your vehicle remains compliant. Non-compliance can result in fines, failed vehicle inspections, and even liability issues in the event of an accident.

Invalidated Warranties

Most vehicle and accessory manufacturers offer warranties that become void if installations are not performed in full adherence to manufacturer’s guidelines. Attempting to install bullbars, towbars, or other accessories yourself can invalidate these warranties, leaving you financially responsible for any damages or malfunctions. By opting for professional installation, you safeguard these warranties and ensure that any issues are covered.

Insurance Complications

In the unfortunate event of an accident, improperly installed bullbars or towbars could complicate your insurance claims. Insurance companies are likely to investigate the cause of the damage thoroughly. If they determine that the damage resulted from unprofessional or incorrect installation, they might refuse to cover the costs. This could leave you with significant financial losses, as you would be responsible for repairs or replacements out of pocket.

To avoid such risks, it’s crucial to ensure all your vehicle modifications are performed by certified experts. Professional installation not only guarantees the safety and performance of your accessories but also keeps your insurance policy intact.

Poor Performance

The performance of your vehicle’s accessories significantly depends on their installation quality. For instance, a bullbar that’s not securely mounted can vibrate and make noise, while a poorly installed towbar might not distribute weight evenly, leading to unstable towing. Professional installers possess the expertise and tools to ensure your accessories perform optimally, enhancing your overall driving experience.

Increased Wear and Tear

Improperly installed accessories can accelerate wear and tear on your vehicle. For example, a misaligned towbar can place undue stress on the suspension and drivetrain, causing premature wear. Similarly, incorrect wiring of electrical accessories can lead to battery drain or electrical failures. Professional installation ensures that all components are correctly fitted and aligned, minimising additional strain on your vehicle.

Resale Value Reduction

Potential buyers often scrutinise the condition and quality of aftermarket installations when purchasing a used vehicle. Professional installation of accessories like bullbars and towbars can enhance your vehicle’s resale value by providing assurance that modifications were done correctly and safely. On the other hand, DIY installations can raise red flags, reducing buyer confidence and lowering the resale price.

Avoid the pitfalls of DIY accessory installations by choosing Fastfit. Our team of experts ensures that every bullbar, towbar, and accessory is professionally installed to maximise safety, performance, and compliance. Don’t take risks with your vehicle’s integrity, trust the professionals at Fastfit and drive with peace of mind.
