Will the bags go BANG ??

Just to add also the front airbag sensor normally looks at rapid decelleration speed as opposed to a impact on the front of the vehicle

I reckon an impact to the front of the vehicle would look the same as a rapid decelaration to an accelerometre ( thats the sensor in your srs system )

Would be a bit silly if you hit a wall at 110KM/h and the airbags deploy , then if you are stationary and get hit head on by something doing 110km/h and you get no airbag protection,

Also have an 01' GU with factory bar and winch , no worries , all the sensors are in the SRS module on the trans tunnel under the air con ducts .

Have a good one.

I was referring to the impact of fitting a winch (possibly hitting something with a hammer to line it up not being hit by something doing 110 kph)

On being hit by something head on i worked with a salesman at a truck dealership yeaars ago & he told a story (dont know if it is true as he was a salesman) about him & two mates who were travelling in the territory at night & pulled up at the 3 ways roadhouse

One bloke was fast asleep in the back seat of the car & didn't realise they had stopped so they parked the car head on to a road train

They than got out of the car went into the roadhouse & got everyone outside for a look & had the truckie turn all the lights on & hit the air horns

This bloke woke up to the sight of a bullbar filling the windscreen & thought he was about to die in a head on with a roadtrain & meanwhile everyone outside was cacking themselves

A mean thing to do to someone (hope he didn't have a heart condition) but funny nevertheless

But you didnt write that :

" Just to add also the front airbag sensor normally looks at rapid decelleration speed as opposed to a impact on the front of the vehicle "

Cheers,

Fair enough Glen you are correct i did write that but the original question was not "will the airbags deploy if i get hit head on by something doing 110 kph while i am stationary"

Regards Don

No but you said they only deploy from decelleating not imact from the front which is rubbish .

Fair enough Glenn you win

Feel free to correct me next time i post rubbish

Regards Don

Just as a matter of interest Glenn if you dont mind me asking what type of Patrol do you have (petrol/diesel/manual/auto)
