Strek Off Road

[JackieTreehorn]

Does anyone have any experience with Strek Off-Road?

Looks like they make a bull bar that is pretty close to OEM.

Following. I like that light bar that goes over the windshield…..

Strek is a good budget-friendly option. The fit is close to OEM but the powder coat is thin. It's fine for light use but may not hold up to serious abuse.

I've ordered the "hitch" from them, but can't get them to respond (Order Ack, etc.) so far.

interesting.
They went dark on me after I emailed a few questions about the bull bar last month.
Could be just the pains of running a small business and difficulty in support, so I won't jump to conclusions.
That said, I'm not interested in sending $2,200 without more confidence

I have purchased a few items! Small storage parts to powered side steps...have had no issues with quality, fit, finish...etc. Once I reached out via email, they asked me to use WhatsApp to communicate and pay for items. Again, never had an issue and shipping (assuming from China) was really fast.

thats helpful feedback, thanks.
(that was one of the questions I had asked them btw - "where is the bullbar manufactured and/or ships from?") crickets, so that tracks
On a big item like the bullbar, I have questions.
weight?, tubing OD? tubing thickness? are they in stock ready to ship, or is there lead time?

I currently have the Owl bullbar and the quality is exceptional (and it was $1,800 vs. $2,200 for the Strek), I just want something that looks OEM
Probably end up keeping the Owl on there. I'd buy a light bar, or other small items without asking questions, but again, $2,200 is different.

I purchased the GP Factor bull bars. They are well built, easy to install and the fitment was exceptional. After a year of hard use they have held up very well.

Received the STREK bull bar for my birthday, ordered on 28 October, arrived 11 November. The EU Grenadier bumpers are plastic, so the EU version comes with two metal brackets you need to install to mount the bull bar. The US Grenadier bumpers are metal, so no bracket, they mount directly to the bumper. I'll post here again when I make the time to install the US bull bar. The instructions that come with it are two pages and not helpful.

The EU install video is here and is really helpful:

I think this is the US install video, though it looks from the front license plate to be in Asia somewhere, it's better than the paper instructions, but it's lacking the completeness and visual angles of the EU install video:

Quality seems good, not sure how thick the metal is, or if the powder coat is adequate for those who drive through lots of brush. I'll be doing some light off-roading but nothing where I'll be getting hit by lots of bushes and branches. The Owl bull bar is as good or better I think, but I don't like how the bar on the left and right ends and doesn't wrap around smoothly, that's just an aesthetic thing.
