Best Bull Bars for the GWM Tank 300
The GWM Tank 300 has quickly become one of the most popular mid-size 4x4 wagons on Australian roads, prized for its retro-styled body-on-frame construction, low-range transfer case and genuine off-road capability straight off the showroom floor. But if you're planning to tackle national parks, beaches or remote touring routes, a factory bumper simply won't cut it. A quality aftermarket bull bar is one of the first upgrades most Tank 300 owners consider, and for good reason.
In this guide, we run through the best bull bar options for the GWM Tank 300, what sets each apart, and what to think about before you buy.
Why Upgrade Your Tank 300's Bull Bar?
A well-built bull bar for the Tank 300 protects the front end from animal strikes, scrub and light impacts, while also giving you mounting points for driving lights, a winch, UHF antenna and recovery gear. Factory bumpers are designed for pedestrian safety and low-speed carparks, not corrugated tracks or wildlife-heavy backroads. Upgrading to a purpose-built bull bar is one of the most common first steps in building out a Tank 300 for touring.
Fitment Note: Model and Variant Compatibility
Not every Tank 300 bull bar suits every build year or drivetrain variant. Some bull bars listed for the Tank 300 are designed specifically for petrol models from a certain date, while others suit the broader 2023-onwards range. Always confirm your exact build date and variant (petrol or hybrid) before ordering, as fitment between early and late production Tank 300s can differ in ways that affect bar compatibility, sensor cut-outs and factory tow point retention.
Raxar No Loop Bull Bar
The Raxar No Loop Bull Bar is a clean, no-frills option for GWM Tank 300 owners from 2023 onwards who want solid protection without a full hoop across the front. It's a popular choice for owners who prefer a lower-profile look while still gaining mounting points for driving lights and recovery gear.
Raxar Loop Bull Bar
For those who want a full loop across the front for maximum light bar and antenna mounting, the Raxar Loop Bull Bar is built for petrol Tank 300 models from September 2023 onwards. The loop design adds extra protection and a more aggressive stance, while retaining compatibility with factory safety sensors where fitted.
Hamer 4x4 Atlas Bull Bar
The Hamer 4x4 Atlas Bull Bar is a no-loop design engineered for the GWM Tank 300 from 2023 onwards, blending strength with a factory-look finish. Hamer 4x4 is known across the Australian 4x4 market for rugged, ADR-focused bull bar design, and the Atlas Series brings that same engineering approach to the Tank 300 platform.
Hamer 4x4 Atlas Series Plus Bull Bar
Stepping up again, the Hamer 4x4 Atlas Series Plus is a full bumper replacement for the Tank 300, offering maximum front-end protection and the highest level of mounting flexibility in the Hamer range for this vehicle. This is the pick for owners planning serious remote touring where front-end protection is a priority.
Choosing Between No Loop and Loop Designs
No loop bull bars keep a cleaner, closer-to-factory look and are generally lighter, which some owners prefer for daily driving and fuel economy. Loop bull bars add a full hoop for maximum light bar, aerial and winch mounting, making them the stronger choice for owners planning heavier accessory loads or more serious off-road use. Full bumper replacement designs like the Atlas Series Plus sit at the top end, offering the most comprehensive protection but with a more noticeable change to the vehicle's factory appearance.
Where to Start
If you're building out your Tank 300 from scratch, start with the bull bar before adding driving lights, a winch or a snorkel, since it forms the mounting foundation for most other front-end accessories. From there, a set of underbody bash plates and a quality set of wheels and tyres round out the core off-road protection package.
