After going to all that trouble to get it across .....
That is misfortune.
At least you're not in NSW - they write-off anything here at the drop of a hat.
A bullbar, while it would have been bent at thta speed, may have saved most of the bodywork damage. FWIW I have steel bars but alloy bars seem to have a bit more "spring" and they do save weight.
At least it didn't happen to the girls on their trip. It was something we talked about it getting in WA before they drove it across but the timeframe wasn't on our side.Quote:

I would have driven it home and repaired it myself , a good guard would cost less than my insurance excess.
I hit a kangaroo mid hop in a telstra van and all the damage was above the bumper
EDIT, oops sorry didnt see the coolant on the ground.
Tsk tsk tsk,. Whats that skippy? a defender coming ? :) Anyway enough of that. Got to be one of he good things about the Defenders and the earlier types. Like a big meccano set, all bolts together. Should be easy enough to fix and good to see it is only the Defender and the roo that got hurt.

Dumb question ... But are those things so frail that the minor damage there required a flat tray ride :eek: :eek: :wasntme:
Gee's I'd be driving that until it was ready to be fixed!

Oouch!
I run up to about 6 of those roo shoo things, haven't connected with one so far, touch wood.
Will the roo end up on the plate?
A simple Bull Bar and this thread wouldn't exist.
Not sure why you would drive in Australia without one.
But this is a much more interesting thread than "I fitted a bullbar" (This thread is yet to come though, so look out for it:D)Quote:

first off all OUCH Itake it that being around Bright the ro was an eastern grey better then a red. I notice the coolant is green so I presume it's a v8 Defenders are pretty tough cars when fixed Iwould put an ARB bull bar on it I hit a grey going out to Oakey one morning the ARB bar saved the car and no damage at all to the bar.
