[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 449301, member: 12692"] I have a very solid WA custom alloy bar (guy before me had it made) on my 95 Pajero, & is less than half the weight of a steel bar. Its as much for holding lights as hitting animals, but the chassis rails run to the front on this wagon & provide a strong connection point. Having extremely good lights means I often see roos on the roadside before I reach them, so avoid collisions. I have run over 3 small to mid sized roos at around 100kph, 2 went under & 1 was spat out the side. The bar has only a slight bow in it. Moral is, I know if I hit a Big Red in the north, or cow etc, its gunna be :skull: :poop: but while a steel bar might fair better, it may not save it either. Its a calculated risk [/QUOTE]
