white90 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 By the look of the N/S the Cow/Bull was a tad scared by his incident. that'll polish out though for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaky Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Is that a load of Bull Sh*t...................... .......along the side of the car? I saw a coach that hit a camel doing 120kph in Saudi......not much left of the camel and it wrote off the coach killing the driver at teh same time. I don't think any form of bull bar/winch bumper call em' what you will... could withstand hitting a beast of size at 60mph anyway. I know the coaches in Oz have those big Roo catchers up front don't they. I was on a coach going from Sidney to Surfers...with a driver called 'Barry the Basher' on account of he didn't slow down for Roo's on the road! Nutter!

Turbocharger Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Depends on how you look at it. Those ARB bumpers are solid bits of kit. How would the notable resilience of a LR wing have coped with the same incident without the extra steelwork? I'd bet it wouldn't look like a Defender any more...

bill van snorkle Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Bull bar by name and bull bar by nature The bar did the job it was designed to do. It took the brunt of the impact and minimised damage to the vehicle. If the bar was made any stronger the chassis would bend and the truck would be a write off. Bill.

missingsid Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Might be the photo or my eyesight buut, the roof line where the roof meets the side don't look straight to me?

The Yak Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Ask for your money back as the thing is obviously not fit for purpose. If you were in the Australian outback hundreds of miles, and many days walk from anywhere with a diasbled vehicle, you would probably die. Roo bars are intended for one original purpose.....to save your radiator. That is exactly what this Roo Bar did. As you can see in the picture, the radiator was not touched and the Land Rover occupants were able to drive back to safety. If it were not for the Roo Bar the radiator would have been smeared over the engine and the Land Rover going nowhere. The driver and passengers could then have been in a life threatening situation...... .......which is exactly why they are so popular in Australia. Cheery Bye.

thommo Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 .......which is exactly why they are so popular in Australia. Makes it hard to understand why they are so popular in Chelsea though, not many cows around there and not too many places you can drive at 60 mph.
