Hey blokes

[buc]

Been a while, you might remember me from such films as "winnies wedding"
Came on a trip to Dargo a few years ago, since then i got rid of the gq and had a Navara. That was crap so i got rid of that and now have a 4.5 GU auto.

Hey Kerry, welcome mate. Hilift has got to go mate. Pointless piece of metal. Illegal and worthless on a GU without bar work all round.

May be pointles for jacking off but if used them for breaking beads on flat tyres plenty of times

Yeah they will get that done. Driving over the tyre will get it done too. But to be honest mate 20 years 4wdriving and i can only think of 1 time where that would have been handy and we got it done without one.

When using them in a recovery situation they are dangerous junk mate. More people injured using them than is acceptable. Im a big fan of an exhaust jack over a hilift is every other scenario.

I have a particular hate for empty fishing rod holders too mate so take it for what it is bud. I promise you dont need it ans will likely never ever use it. It might kill someone ans you risk copping an infringement if the Police where looking for a reason. An LED light bar in the same location is also illegal. Nothing mounted above the bullbar.

Enjoy the car though mate. Winnie was saying he liked the space in the GU after spending time in yours today.

Hey Darren, seems 'An LED light bar in the same location is also illegal. Nothing mounted above the bullbar' this is still a bit grey right across Australia - I looked into it just now as I have a wide light bar on my roofrack, and its certainly illegal in SA and WA, but the other states, including Vic have a clause stating 'must not dazzle on-coming traffic', so in reality it give Const Plod the ability to decide if the light bar does or does not dazzle, then defect you. Max of 4 additional driving lights also. I will chew this over and might have to remove my light bar as I think its mounting is on shaky ground, so you're probably a safe statement to avoid undue attention - thanks for that.

Bit of a hijack of the thread but what's your reference for the light bar being illegal ontop of the bullbar in SA and WA? ADR's are a national document and apply in every state and territory. The lights must not dazzle and must not obscure the driver's vision of the road. (Along with a bunch of other conditions)

I mean I don't like them up there either, but just for clarity it may not technically be illegal. The rod holders are though.
