Don't go over board.....

I thought these things are not allowed now in the UK???

 

Something to do with reducing injuries to pedestrians when they jump in front of a ton of steel travelling at however mph?

 

I could be wrong but thats my understanding

I know there was talk of banning them a few years back. Don't know if it ever happened though.

Mind you, some of the A bars and light bars you still see on 4x4's are just as bad, and most people don't need them.

Then again, pretty much any 4x4 is going to ruin your day if it hits you.

When living in aus I spent a few hours fitting a big set of roo bars to a modern holden ute. Couple nights later they got tested.

 

Bars were great, roo was dead but the chassis of the ute was screwed, but at least it didnt come through the windscreen.

 

In a WB ute you could hit a few a night and the worse thing was the flys feeding off the leftovers the next day.

I wouldn't drive at night in certain parts of Oz without roo bars...

trundling down the road one day in my vauxhall astra, a pigeon flew right in front of me and I blew it apart, I thought this was the funniest thing and continued on my way in a cloud of feathers with a laugh in my belly and a tear in my eye. Until about 2 minutes later when a roe deer vaulted the wall and wrote the bloody car off. Not really a believer in karma but I had to think.......

roo bars are are not just there for looks they there for your own saftey as if you did not have them you would be stuck at the side of the road if not a lot worse. i have been in an hours drive had 4 roos run in to the side of a land cruisser and 1 hit the front and if it was not for the bars you would neaver make it any were as you would be replacing radiators all the time if not alot more

I had a 306 gti for a while, one day I was going down a country lane and a muntjack stepped out in front of me, after years of driving a hilux with bullbars and various landrovers with winches my first thought was that deers had it! then I remembered I was in the car not the truck....

luckily it had good brakes.
