An illegal b/bar on a car is any that are upright or have a forward slope (as pictured) i.e the bar must have a rearward slope.

On a 4wd or truck the bar can be upright but must not have any forward sloping component.

The bar cannot have any protrusion forward of the barwork, i.e. aerial mounting brackets, winch gear or fishing pole holders. These are what Police would be looking for.

For RWC there would also be issues of air bag compatibility, manufacture date of the vehicle and compliance measurements.

regards to all the legal requirements but what about the effect of having all that bulk and weight forward of the front axle :(

Just like there are red neck Land Rover driving *******. Or redneck Commodore driving *******. Or redneck Toyota driving *******.

You have a very impressive chip on your shoulder showing there.

Cos that'd go well on a farm wouldnt it? It's destroy the chassis on the car when it hits the first pothole on the way up the driveway! That said, it's a mean bull bar and that on the car looks pretty fully sik!

I think it's illegal to have any bull bar that is angled forward, i.e. the top bar has to be behind the "bumper" section.

Actually the term 5 poster simply means 5 vertical posts.
I used to have 5 poster on my xf ute, which was angled forward in the traditional B&S style, and it was roadworthy as ADR's are not retrospective of age of vehicle. I'm not sure if i'd get away with the same bar on a new Falcon.

I have a smart bar on my current falcon which is a bit more "friendly", i miss my xf though, & the bar was great for parking as you could clearly see the front corners.

Hmmm ..... it looks pretty fully sick to me!

I think it is the less between the legs, [ and the ears ] the more that is spent on " look at me " accessories. Bob
