I'll tell you what everyone else says. NO BULL BARS!! they cause more damage then good. It's your call in the end. It's like the Stock step rails. If you ever get in a accident or something they will cause more damage to your car then a after market bumper or no bull bar. Either way good luck with your search. Just wanted to let you know.

Not sure what you're looking for exactly, but bull bars are pretty reasonably priced at truckgeardirect.com.

If you got one of the black ones it could be painted to look like the roof rails.

What year Xterra do you have?

As far as the 'more damage' comment - it's true to a certain extent, but people say the same thing about grille guards. I've had a few of them in the past and I like the look of them - who cares about more damage; if you hit something that hard, you're going to have damage anyway. A bull bar wouldn't be quite so bad as a grille guard. If you run into something with a grille guard, it shoves the outside hoops into your headlights and fenders and the top bar into your hood.

Happy Modding :cheers:

2012 Pro4x.... every bull bar i see is either SS/chrome or black... being that my X is white with grey trim... i was thinking that a bull bar in that matte silver of the roof rails would look pretty good but i have never come across one... just dont want to have to do something custom, a $900 bull bar isnt exactly what im after.

Or you could just spraypaint it yourself for about $8-$15.
