Has anyone installed a bull-bar/safari-bar/light-bar/whatever-bar on the front of an Equator? I'm just curious if there is anything in the way that prevents using the commonly used Frontier parts - since the bumper covers are different.

I have a brush guard on my Frontier and it's four main attachment points are on the frame, 2 where the factory two hooks mount and 2 more between the bumper and the grill to the sheet metal behind them. Most bull bars and push bars mount just to the towing points and not up near the bumper. I figure as long as you have the same tow hook points as a Frontier you should be good but I would find a product you want then ask the manufacturer if it will fit or not.

Just thought I'd come to add some info:

The bull bar for a Frontier mounts up fine to the Equator. There is a little bump on the front of the silver part of the Equator bumper that will contact the cross-bar of the bull bar, but just adjusting the angle of the bar downward alleviates this. You also MUST relocate the license plate, as the plate-bracket is in the way of the bar.

"Bump" on the bumper:

The license plate bracket sits exactly where the bull bar needs to be.

I took it off and used a metal hose/pipe clamp to fasten it to one of the vertical slats in the skid plate of the bull bar. The license plate then hides the clamp so you don't see it.

Finished:

I'm not sure if it actually has a name. It is a 3" bar without any major manufacturer's label. It came from eBay, US-AutoPartsDepot or one of their subsidiary seller names:

How are the lights that come with the bar? removable? Be sweet to throw different lights on like some square HID's

Mount points are universal, you can put whatever you want on the bar.
