I am looking for a Randy Ellis Sleekster Bull Bar for my 2017 Power Wagon but can not seem to find any. Does anyone know of anything similar as I like the sleek look instead of having something bulky in front. I called the Randy Ellis shop # and the message stated they were under restructuring so I have no idea when and if they will resume manufacturing again.

From what I've seen on some of the PW Facebook pages Randy Ellis is no more.

The rough country bull bars look nice but will get damaged and also it covers up the factory installed winch but thank you for replying. It seems I will have to go with the N-FAB bar and possibly modify it.

I've been debating one on my PW for some time...I haven't pulled the trigger because they all seem to get in the way of the winch, which is absolutely not acceptable.

I thought the same thing but the randy ellis bar seems to be ok. Feel like you would need to be in a really extreme situation to have the bar interfere with the cable. It could happen for sure i just don't see it being an issue for me. Plus the deal i got on this bar was impossible to pass up

See I actually...don't like the look of those. I'd rather have something that looks more like the rough country ones but that don't interfere with the winch and the front parking sensors. It's looking more and more like if I want one, I'll have to build one. Which I can do...if I had time.

I know of no bumper mounted light bar that will not interfere with the parking sensors. I was told by an off-road truck shop that there is no search bar made. Mine actually does not set them all off but it does get the driver side center sensor active

I know this is an older thread, but where did you get that bar from? Can you share a link? I have new looking for one for my 2016 Power Wagon which will not
Mess with the front sensors and this seems like it would work.

It’s a randy Ellis design bar. I think they are still making them.

They definitely are.

I know one of their reps posted on here not long ago confirming they've finalized their design which doesn't obstruct any sensors. Can't find that particular post though.

I rolled into someone few months back at a yield sign. Doing about 2 mph. Pushed their whole tailgate in. 4K in damage. Not a scratch on the bar

Thanks for the update ! We have a heavy over population of Deer and a bunch of Moose running around. The joys of living rural. I have had a few close call Pucker factor close that I could count the hairs on a deer butt and see it winked at me lol
