what is the basis for this claim??

yes 4 sides with tubular on sides...

WBR,

Yup it might trigger the airbag because it has sensors at the bumpers.

well people thanks for all your concern but i rarely drive on NLEX or SLEX except next week for holy week, my daily drind is always against sidecars na singit ng singit maski 1 inch na lang clearance..kaya i decided to let install bullbars..

Actullay last week may tama na ng sidecar rear bumper ko may dent, notice it only when have it wash,,, talagang nabwisit ko araw na yun i saw that dent, that's why i let install na bullbar..

WBR,

Ang hirap kasi pag nabanga ka ng sidecar na medyo mahina, dent agad yung ride mo pero if your inside the car, wala ka na feel na banga except lang na makita mo may tama ka na pagbaba mo ng car, then there ma high blood ka na...bwisit...

emphasize ko lang ito...

baka kahit dumaplis lang sa isang side... e madadamay yung buong bumper kasi yung bullbar yumupi sa bumper...

Normally, wala sa bumper mismo ang sensors ng airbag. Ang alam ko nasa loob ng dasboard. Pero tama ka na may bullbar na air bag compatible at mayroong hindi.

Ang objective naman ni inova boy ay protection sa pedicabs kaya palagay ko ok naman yun. Hindi nga lang maganda sa paningin ng iba or it may cause a bigger damage in accidents pero it served it's purpose against scratches and dents and those stupid pedicab drivers.

I also work in the Binondo Area, and I have to deal with those Pedicab drivers everyday. Bullbar or not kung tatamaan kotse mo tatamaan talaga kung di ka maingat nasa driving mo din yan, now ang ginagawa ko pag alanganin pwesto ko pinagbibigyan ko na sila di na ako nakikipaggitgitan useless din wala namang trophy kung nauna ka. In most cases sa banggaan ng pedicab at kotse ay resulta ng gitgitan. Karamihan kong nakikitang bullbar dito sa Binondo area eh either may gasgas, or tabinggi or even worse involved in a collision so buong harap may damage. so eyesore din, pangit tignan. Iniisip siguro ng mga driver na yan solid yung mga bullbar nila kaya medyo aggressive driving.

Well sa parking naman, karamihan dun sa Binondo Area eh parallel parking so kung tatamaan kotse mo sa side, kung may parking slot naman eh rear bumper ang tatamaan kung sakali. So I really don't believe in Bullbars as "protection" against pedicabs, and mas mahirap mag tantsa pag may bullbar kasi its added length to your cars front and rear, mas mahirap in tight parking spaces. If you really want protection, get a heavy duty ARB Bumper directly welded to the cars chassis, kahit bangain mo mga pedicab minimal damage lang on your part. Bullbars are lightduty at best which adds to your cars weight thus increasing fuel consumption. Just my 0.02

same predicament tayo bros, pedicab ang mortal na kaaway ko ssa daan.

I studied ang pedicab, yung sidecar nila is made of schedule 40 na 1 inch tubo, ma kapal yan.

kaya i decided not to install those aluminum bullbarsa na nabibili, but I have one bent out of schedule 20 1.5 icher na GI na tubo, 1.5 inches ang distanced sa bumper, primed and spray painted, Although di pa test kasi on going pa ang gawa. so tingin ko effective to, kasi nga designed sa pangontra sa sidecar. Brush guard at sa bumper area lang protected, at hindi yung headlamps. halos wala tatamaan kundi yung GI pipe lang. na simulate ko na, by using a sidecar

sa gilid naman, pina labas ko kaunti ang step board ko, pag sa gilid naman sumalpok, stepboard naman ang tatamaan nya muna.

sa likod, brush guard din, across the length ng bumper ko schedule 20 na 1.25 icher na GI pipe, machine bent, at distanced around an 1.5 inches from the bumper.

tas yung gulong hehehe medyo makapal ang gulong ko, 235 series, maski pag gumulong sya kasama sa gulong, yung tip ng GI pipe tatamaan nya muna bago bumper ko o yung small fender area sa sides ng tire well.

try ko dalhin sa binondo minsan, para ma test.

pero yung design ko di uubra sa innova, masyado mababa ang innova,at medyo malaki ang fender area exposed sa tire wells. at least maging effective to, yung ground clearance ng is mataas, para puro tubo, stepboard, at gulong tamaan nila
