HEY THAT'S COOL 99!! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT THE PICCIES UP HERE!!
As to the Bumper, we have Red Roos here that can stand up 6' tall... And I have done a big black pig as well. On one trip through the Outback I think I did 11 animals by accident, counting a Lorikeet, a wood duck that flew out of a cattle grate, that pig, a goanna (BBL Big bloody lizard), a couple of roos... Anyway, the BIG DANGER is a Bullock (beef cattle) grazing along a dirt road you are doing 30-40 or faster on. You see the herd up ahead and are slowing down, but one in the bushes panics as you approach and bolts out in front of you to get across the road and BANG... If you do not have a Bull Bar, you are walking!!!!
Also, my 6.0 CC KR is as Rare as Rocking Horse Poo here in Oz... If a Landcruiser (everywhere, Australias most common vehicle) pulls out in front of me and I hit him in an accident there are no body parts for my truck!!! So I want to clean him up and only scratch the paint on my Bullbar!!
No, now seriously, I also reinforced it on the inside with 6mm plate steel, and plated along the crumple zone of the chassis to protect my Cruiser Eating Ford... Ha! If they pull out too quick in front of me and I have to hit them, I want to drive away not walk...
Bullock, Steer, or Landcruiser, don't want them to hurt my KING RANCH...
Trust me, with a rare truck, you need this type of gear!!
Best Regards, Ranger
