Certainly if you do a lot of country driving at night there is a lot to be said for a steel bullbar and good spotlights.


or a different car.

If you do a lot of country driving at night there's a case for a full size 4WD with a bullbar & lights.

I have only just found this but looking at the damage it would not be difficult to think that it has dropped over an embankment and then rolled and slid, soft damage to front and bonnet and the crush and grinding damage to the screen and frame (dirt deposits on screen) the smashed wheel would have taken the initial impact.
Not nice what ever happened.

The bootlid is perfect. Worth $75.
