Gonz - 21 Feb 2005 20:40 GMT Local guy here has a commodore ute with this massive ally bull bar on the front, like this bull bar is prolly around a foot higher than the bonnet, it looks so yuck, when I first seen it I were stoped at a red light and the couple in the car next to me were laughing at it too, he also has the 4 spotties on the roll bar and big mud flaps.
This guy needs to be told how ugly it looks with the bull bar.

Saw a commodore ute while passing through Terang recently with a bull bar that looked like it was cut from a Kenworth and the aerials hanging off it were big enough to double as footy goal posts.

Many utes around my way have large bull bars. Banning these on light commercials will results in *B&S Ball Rage*. That's like banning the Bundy mud flaps, the 2,000,000,000 candle power spotties, exhaust stacks, Lee Kernaghan signatured panels, long neck tinnie holders and clearance lights. Good luck.
BTW, I can remember seeing a really crappy Ford ute around my way. It was a beaten up shitbox but instead of having a 'Longreach' sticker on the tailgate, it had a professionally done *Dryreach* one instead. :)))))

Don't forget the side steps that give them such low ground clearance that they can only be driven on the best of black tops.
I saw one on the weekend that had more smoke blowing out of it's exhaust stacks than *any* truck I've ever seen. Don't know what the smoke was from though - prolly a smoke machine he'd installed to look kool. Fukn.
Geez, I'm really not in a good mood today...

Dozens of like utes in the scrub,....even up untill 6 or so years ago the venerable HQ -HX ute preferabley with a V8 was THE go amongst the cow-cockeys and sons.
The side-lights appear to be a mutation or what happens when a Kenworth f.cks a Holden ute.

why is that? we are hardly the only country in which the risk of animal strike is present.

There's more to it than just that. Animal strike is at least as much of an issue in many parts of Canada, and doubtless other places. On the other hand, there's no point fitting a bullbar to protect the front of your bonnet from the moose's legs if the rest of it is going to land in your windscreen and kill you just the same. So in Canada and the northern states of the US, instead of fitting dirty great bullbars, they try to avoid hittng wildlife.
Roos are large enough that a bullbar offers some protection and low enough to the ground that a bullbar does more than simply remove the legs neatly whilst leaving the carcass to land in your lap.

but they don't fit them...

judging by the no. of city 4WDs with them, i'd say that's the most likely answer.

Clearly you don't drive a real vehicle with a real steel bull bar so you have never had the satisfying experience of hearing that beautiful resonant tone from real Australian BHP steel.

Anywhere west of the last streetlight you will find these the criteria is something like this
Ute- anything as long as it is a single cab(extra cabs are sort of ok) V8 is the prefered choice and gets top cred, diesels are next, 4&6 petrols are quite low in cred value it MUST have a min of 75% of rear window covered in B&S, Bundy Rum, Cow Horn and XXXX stickers extra value if you can cover the guards and bonnet with large Bundy Bear or XXXX sticker it will need to have a bug deflector on the bonnet, and it must be a coloured one,
bullbar- Min 5 poster cow catcher type, min 8 inches above the bonnet height, min 4 bull lights, min 2 "whitestick" UHF antennas at least 3 metres or higher, min 2 truck mudflaps at the outer edge, CAT is the prefered brand but Mack is a close second, and for that finishing touch a couple of old waterbags extra credits if you can fit a set of long horn cow horns, more bull lights and antennas(these don't need to be connected to anything
The Rear- MUST contain a roll bar with at min 4 bull lights and as many antennas as you can(again they don't need to work) fit between the lights("one flash and your ash" stickers should be placed on the rear of lights) exhaust stacks are only good if you have a diesel, petrols don't blow black smoke Must have min 1 x Blue cattle dog, other pig hunting breeds are acceptable, small yap yaps will get you bashed to death heavy duty tow bar for tug of wars and pulling stuff down with and last rear mudflaps, again CAT are the prefered choice, they should be fitted right at the rear and inwards 8 inches from the outer corner and two is all thats needed, smaller mudflaps should be fitted just behind the rear wheels and covered in as much mud and grass as possible
Wheels- anything that can have tyres fitted, don't even think of fitting18 inch rims and low-pro tyres, they are no good for circle work in the paddocks because of the rocks and stumps you will hit tyres need to throw as much mud and crap when doing such circle work
you only need to wash your class bit of gear when heading into the big smoke, but don't go overboard. water is precious out in the sticks, a quick hose down from the nearest bore pump will do just fine
clean and polished utes are either new and have just been picked up or driven by w.nker wannabes
> Some of you guys are downright xenophobic about anyone who chooses to > drive something different to your own narrowly defined ideal car. but they are not different, they are exactly the same as the 3 million other bushie feral utes

Too right and they'd have a fit if some bushie started sprouting about tinted windows, aircon, DVD players, mags, polished trays, coloured seats & Nismo stickers.

the 5 post bullbar above the bonnet line is also a retarded w.nk I bet you've also got MACK/Kenworth/CAT mudflaps it's a f.cking ute you moron not a Mack/Kenworth and doesn't have a CAT engine ya f.cking Retard

(Sarcastic Mode ON) Kev, haven't you seen the local Charleville Holden. They sell Utes with 8 litre Cats under the bonnet and consoles large enough for those 8 radios. Huge mud flaps are to ensure that the rear end holds enough mud to stop the rear wheels from coming off the ground due to the weight of the front bulbar!" The large RMW Sticker on the back window is to hide the ugly bastards. (OFF)
If they REALLY wanted to be safe from animals then they would install a couple of large bars across the windscreen to stop those roos from entering the cabin at speed. At least the vehicle would then handle well enough to avoid the objects in question without the extra 100 Kgs over the front end.
I saw one in Toowoomba that was that fricken big that it was at least 400mm Wider than the Ute it was mounted to! Looked liek it weighed at least 100Kgs. On the bright side he hadnt got around to installing the Radios and Flaps yet. Driver was around 18.

Looked liek it weighed at least 100Kgs. On the bright side he hadnt got around to : installing the Radios and Flaps yet. Driver was around 18. Around here most of the bullbars are for those bastards that jump out of the bushes with guns, the bigger the bullbar the less likely they'll hold their ground. There are a lot of screens over windows and windscreens, like the mesh on security doors but some are a lot finer, this is to protect from the bastards that throw rocks at cars to try and cause an accident so they can rob the occupants. Just watch it'll start happening down there as soon as they start letting larger numbers of these guys in as fruit pickers.
