    you know so you can support something much longer than the roof top.
    The pedestrian law would prob make them illegal also.
    Its a solid object that would not allow a body to flex over the bar.
    Instead reflect off and underneath and defeat the purpose of the law also.
    Tow balls come off when not in use as they punch holes in cars in rear enders,insurance company's had a winge.
    So should rod holders its the same principle, only now someones life's at stake.

    led light bars have to be mounted in pairs as the laws require, get that one ! have a couple of pages on that one.
    I think you'll find the towball removal law was because the Ball obscured the number plate on most passenger cars,
    I doubt you'd get pinged in a Patrol as the number plate is on the door.
    Light bars are ok now seems to ppl in power caught up with reallity.
    Not sure on those pipe rack extensions some ,plumbers, concreters and carpet ppl use.
    I had one on my other 4x4 worked a treat bur never left in on

    I got pulled over a couple of years ago for speeding and they made me remove my rod holder (we were going on holiday, only reason I had it on) they told me I could remove it on the spot or face a $75 fine, it's probably more than that now.
    Now I only put it on once I get to my destination.

    I have my Rod holder mounted to the back of roof rack with a rubber rod clip on the front to protect the rods from movement and damage by the front of the rack.
    The rods are better off lying flat anyway so they don't sick up in the air and get wiped out by trees.

    Regarding the tow hitch removal.
    I take mine off to prevent someone from taking it off for themselves and I put it in my rear draw with the pin as well cos someone took that once when it was left in. If it's easy to remove someone will take it.

    Thieving buggas!
