Not chrome but I’m not sure if @Superspirit is also after chrome. There are chrome bars out there with a chrome mesh centre part but some appear to be removable.

I also saw this one from U-Guard…

Black Horse Off Road might still make this - not sure if it clears the sensors but it might be worth looking into…

For a basic bar that won't do anything like what has been mentioned above you are in luck. For an actual Bull Bar that will add protection I do not believe there is one available in Chrome. Basically you would have to buy the bar and take it to a place that is willing to make it Chrome and that will not be cheap.

I'm looking for black, if you read the description they wont work with adaptive cruise and the sensors. All of them state not compatible with adaptive cruise control and parking sensors. At least when I was searching that's what they said. Those in the reviews said they had to relocate the sensors. For them to work.

I may be wrong but most bull bars are only mounted to tow hitch area...it would not stand up to pushing anything and fold in on your grill...

There's a difference between a push bar which doesn't really do much at all and an actual bull bar that will actually add protection because it replaces the bumper and adds that grill section as well. What is listed above is more of a push / nudge bar at best

Aren't they all called bull bars regardless of function?

Unfortunately yes. That said the manufacturers should correct the names of the nudge bars

I don't know if this is quite what you're looking for, but the ARB Summit bumper includes a pretty beefy bar.

I have been looking for Black. All of them see to interfere with the parking sensors and ACC. You have to look in the ratings most of the time to discover this as they don't tell you.

I have used mine to push (Roll) the round hay bails around a field that were as big as my truck LOL and I had to push a truck back up into someones driveway, but not sure I would trust it in an accident At All ! , it would probably stop a deer before it went through my grill though
since it mounts to where the tow hooks go its only going to be as good as the 4 bolts holding it on, I have been thinking about replacing them with Case 8 hardened ones at least?
