head butted a 300mm rhick conrete post.

bull bar was touchin the wheel and reckon it will need a new tie rod end

That sux buddy, how fast were you going?

[Tuff.Lux]

only 50km but the concrete post (which was about 1400mm long and 400mm into the ground) ended up 20m away from where i hit it

[KTM525EXC]

that's a fair old impact

[Tuff.Lux]

yeah didnt even feel it, the bar took the whole impact

id say with out the bar, the front wheel wold be sitting next to the back wheel.

i had another look at the concrete post i hit today and i didnt knock it out of the ground, i snapped it and it was 400 mm thick

spose an update on the old girl is in order...

insurance given the ok

$8000 worth of damage and should have it back in a week or 2

[eMOJO]

Nice one, doing anything different on the front or just getting it back to how it used to be?

[Tuff.Lux]

well getting a brand new steel bar, winch compatable and all that stuff, but i reckon ill sell/ swap the bar for an xrox bar because i like the look of them on this model hilux

[Tuff.Lux]

heres a couple mates hiluxs with xrox bars

[KTM525EXC]

defanatly the xrox

[Luxasaurus]

Ill need to find a place for my aerials

Yep i think im set on an Xrox bar. They look the sex and they look tough on our model

[Tuff.Lux]

you can just drill a couple holes in the plate on the bar mate or ive seen aerials mounted on the tub just behind the cab, nice and safe there

[Luxasaurus]

Nice and safe, Im going for the Possum basher aerials (Thanks to Miller for that name )

Probably can rig something up at work and weld it on. Would like to know what sort of protection they provide.

[Tuff.Lux]

you could buy a couple bolt on tabs they sell at autobarn or auto one etc.

same protection to the front as a normal steel bar except headlights and a little bit less under the wings of the but but give better approach angle and much lighter
