[QUOTE="travelergold, post: 449207, member: 5200"] With some 4x4 vehicles the steel bull bars can be a detrimental to the car. Drive it on a bit of corrigation and you get bad body cracking. Extra battery and winch makes it worse. Certain Hilux's crack around headlight support panel to inner gaurd, have also seen cracking near fire wall, Earlier prados crack at fire wall, Navaras crack at fire wall. Mazda and holden also. Could name more. I did have my own business and saw my fair share of issues, hushed up by the bigger manufacturer's. I have had both alloy and steel on my 4x4s and now do not have one on latest car. Extra weight and just figure if i hit a roo ect insurance will cover anyway. Still cheaper when you look at excess. Another point, if i was hit by a car i would not like to be hit with one with a bull bar as my injury's would be worse. That many 'toorak' farmers in the city that have these vehicles would never see the outer burbs or the bush. Just my point of view. [/QUOTE]
