Yeah... It's like the guys who cover their cars/utes in truck flaps, huge lights, non functional antennas and bundy rum stickers.

We get it, you're a bogan who drives trucks for a living and has a drinking problem. We knew that the moment we looked at you, the flaps and stickers aren't necessary.

I know a dude who has big polished stacks on his hilux... He's about 5 foot 4 too.

I think you've made a slight error there...I would wager 99% don't drive a truck for a living at all, but wish they could.

In no way is that fail, looks good! go to the Deni ute muster and there was a commo ute with a bar twice that size that would scrape the ground as it drove along. it come into the site and left on a trailer. only did circle work and blew big flames.

At least it looks like it will stop something, ARB bars don't look all that impressive

That's just what I was going to say. Went to school with a guy that had the rural ute thing going, he lives in town...

i can't hate on the feral b&s ute thing...it's entertaining, i'm more into that than i am big chrome rims & slammed low suspension with tucking tyre & all that...not to mention my confusion over big car stereo setups.
it's a fashion thing, some like it...other don't. i don't see why so many people get bent out of shape about it.

Technically it's no different to driving a 4WD through town if you have absolutely no need for a 4WD. The difference is that a person with a 4WD may have it for towing a large boat, or maybe they do venture off road, in any case they have the option if they need it.

A rural ute has nothing in the way of extra capability over a regular ute, it is simply a cosmetic modification. I have nothing against it, was just stating that I thought it was funny that I know someone who lives and works in suburbia yet portrays himself as a country boy.

But do you actually want it to just "look" impressive or do you want it to work with your vehicles crumple zones and air bags to actually protect you? Those massive truck type bars aren't legal and all they do is transfer the impact back into the body of the vehicle in ways it was never designed to cope with.

Back to the "fails", I'm digging through my old mobile phone trying to find a pic of an old Camry I saw in Rocky a year or two back. It had a wing on alloy stands that was higher than the roof...with steel rims and optional rust-pack trim...

Actually of late there have actually been companies popping up selling approved bull bars like that. My bother inlaw was looking at one for his EF. They arent as big as the one in the picture but its easily bigger and chunkier the the ECB big tube bull bar on the front of our 4x4

We could probably just write Ssangyong's off all together. But my pick is the Chairman. I think it was based on the old W124 Mercedes E-class.
