[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 449492, member: 12692"] another factor in choice is the design of the bar. my alloy bar is very robust & has no lower flick bar (normal for most 4x4 bars) .... bars designed for sedans usually have these. my custom steel skid plate (with vents) runs from the rear of the bar under the radiator & back. This assembly pushes medium to small animals underneath & gives very good protection to the radiator. Ive had 1 small roo go under the front wheel ... that was interesting but controllable. I hope I don't ever hit a Big Red, Cow or Camel. Going over the top is bad, but if they went down & under me thinks me be airborne :poop: :awful: :poop: [/QUOTE]
