NASTY!!!!
A couple of pics from the about a month ago at the powerlines. My rear bar saved me. Landed real hard on the left hand side - tried crawling in, however just not enough traction. The disco basically slipped and landed on its arse...

Check out the rear bumper on exit.....hence the reason to get the rear bar fitted!
Cheers,
Love the reaction. Amazing how deep it has gotten in 3 years.
So you made your own bar up or imported one?
A talented WA-AULROian made me up a special.....
