Well, it still looks like its fixed on the chassis so would have the same problem as the bullbars? I think the issue Tanveer had with bullbars was the fact that they are mounted on the chassis.......

TSK wasnt looking at anything like bullbars.

tsk1979 · 30th March 2007, 14:22

The reason we don't want to go for bullbars is that bullbars compromise safety.
In case of even a small impact all the shock is transferred to the passengers as a bullbar bypasses the crumple zones. Apart from that in an impact which would have just damaged your bumper you end up with a busted chasis = Total loss.

Crumple zone? Does the Safari even have them?!

tsk1979 · 30th March 2007, 14:40

In case of an impact normally the bumper gets deformed, then the radiator shatters. Chasis gets an impact pretty late in the scene, no matter what vehicle.
If you have a bull bar, the chasis will be the first thing which will be hit. esp if your bull bar is heavy. So a light weight contraption is fine, but a heavy bull bar is no no. I will look into this carryboy thing.

Not to mention the bull-bar itself, which will also need repairs/ replacement. The bull-bar will help only in fender-benders.

Bull bar is cheap, even if its busted its okay, but I don't want the chassis to get busted.
gd, you got any better pics of your contraption so that I can see.
How much did it cost?
Any addresses?

yes! Something like this. Where to get this?

@tsk: This is "Carryboy" that is there on Godfather's car also.

There is another brand called "Hiker" which looks similar, but is more fragile. May be thats what you want: the bull-bar to break before it can transfer any impact to the chassis.
