Ugliest bullbar award

[djambalawa]

This 130 sort of looks pretty good.. except for that bullbar!!

Perhaps its functional i dunno.. but man its ugly!

:eek:

*edit* Its not a 130 I guess...

I think Dave (Blknight.aus) on here was the original creator of that particular machine, then the person he sold it to went and beat the crap out of it with the ugly stick.

[MR LR]

HAHAHA that abrortion has reared it's ugly head again! Don't think anyone wants to buy it!

[Benz]

:eek:
haha I can't imagine it would be too easy to get in and out of the back seats.

back seats which are hard to get to combined with a stupid small tray in the back.
what a poor excuse for a ute... and then it has that bar!

looks a bit short for a 130...

[The ho har's]

Oh is this a vote :D

Vote 1

**** that is ugly:)

Holy crap - that bar looks like it belongs on a quad bike. Not sure what's going on with the 90 roof stuck on it either - doesn't work for either a ute or a passenger compartment the way it is. Very odd, VERY ugly.

........ that bar looks like it belongs on a quad bike...........

Same goes for the winch!!:angel:

It looks like the tube bar of a Hyandai Santa Fe, or Mitsu Outlander.

Would hate to hit a kangaroo in that.

Would hate to hit a kangaroo in that.

Might improve the looks though. :D

[rover-56]

Looks like a bar off a Prado or some other slanty asian thing.

For fugly though, I reckon this would do it.
Well, maybe not... new owner may not think so......:D

Each to there own , I agree that bar is one ugly bar , It's just so wrong . How are you suppose to gain access to the rear seats ? I wouldn't want to be in there in the event of an accident , ;)

I was going to say that. We have Hyundai ix35 and the bull bar on the front of that Landy looks just like the ones on the front of the Hyundai's.

why? it apears once it been passed through this cleverly constructed bar it will be ready to go straight on the Barbie

My first thought was that it was off of a Delica or something of that shape.

There's a lot of weird going on there:
- doors and rear windows match the age suggested by the year of manufacture stated.
- defender badging and grille certainly don't.
- there's only one windscreen but it has a series dash.
- only seeing one gear lever - no transfer stick or difflock disengager. Vacuum operated like a perentie?
- text claims ex-army but that doesnt gel with anything except hypothetical vacuum diff.

Anyone want to add to that list?

If you glance at it real quick you can see a resemblance to Jack Nicholson Smiling as the Joker. ..

I don't think it's weird lots if people bolt on and bolt off between series defender and ex army, simply because almost all the stuff is interchangeable

Would it be any different to any other two door vehicle with rear seats? Defender 90? A multitude of small hatchbacks?

[460cixy]

Wonder if it still has the triton rear bar on it? Believe me its not just ugly from the front

[sheerluck]

I like the fact that it has zero kms on it. Too embarrassed to drive it perhaps?

Fair point :p

don't you get into the back seats of a 90 through the back door?
but come to think of it I have never sat in the rear seats of 90 so I have no idea... I just assumed that's why the two seats are separated and not a bench seat.

the front seats in defenders do not in any way fold forward like they do in small hatch backs.

Yep, access to the 2 rear seats in a 90 is via the back door.

Same deal for seats 6 and 7 in a 110 wagon too...
