Add the 70Kg just when you really need. Four or five pins released and your 4WD lose weight fast for better performances.
Easy!

Hmmm conform to ADR's as
well??? does anyone make one?
Blinkers,
driving lights, UHF, fog lights, winch all can be plug and play but this would take it far from a five minute operation and then there is the mud and water getting into the plugs and I cant see how it wouldnt rattle.
Love to see if anyone has actually done one and if they still take it on and off after the novelty wears off.

All trucks have a quick disconnect bull bar...... remove two 1 inch bolts and it's off.
I have never seen truckie remove his bar when not needed........ Ha we might be onto something here.
What would be the guidelines for when to remove and reinstall the bar, hell we see kangaroos 2k from the
Adelaide CBD.
And a 4x4 doesn't have the same "road rage" appeal as one with a bar....... sure the pedestrian council would love the idea, don't tell the pollies.

And a lot of grunting and swearing, because you have hit a few 'roos and maybe a beast or two, and the bolts don't quite line up anymore......

Once you have the bar tilted (2 or 4 bolts) most are only help on by another 2 bolts at the pivot point.
We undo bars every day to tilt cabs and bonnets, 5 minutes top to undo the bolts for tilting and with a
fork another 5 minutes to undo the pivot bolts....... getting it back on is another matter?
Obviously if you were going to remove the bar often you would use connectors for the lights.

As I stated ,'2 one inch bolts your dreaming',, big difference between tilt and full removal ,,,

Actually
mine was just a provocation.
I don't believe a detachable bullbar is the right solution but honestly i also don't like carry extra weight every time just because one day I might experience close encounters of the third kind on my way around
Brisbane....
So what, Smartbar? Xrox Bullbar? or just a bar instead driving at the dusk?
Thanks for all your answers, some very funny LOL
I like this
forum.
Cheers,
Nick

Nick,
those smart bars are very good. Have used them and witnessed there
resilience when hitting
rock walls hard.
