They're hardly the average B&S wannabe's ute.... Theyre 4wd's, not lowered, and not from suburbia... its the wannabe's getting around in lowered commodores with the front end of a kenworth that are the *******...

I'm sure owner of the vehicle has more of a problem with wildlife than the risk of some suburbanite glued to thier phone stepping out in front of him....

Well, looking at the vehicle in the background, the bullbar appears to ft the image depicted in AS4876.1-2002 figure 2.4 (b) which is labeled "Not acceptable".

if you read the press releases from tuff, they have strawman arguments that 5 posters are not prohibited by adrs /AS, which is quite true. However their bullbars are clearly non compliant, not because they are 5 posters, but rather because they angle forwards and have 'cow catchers' on the bottom.

Thanks for the info down a few posts about roof lights. I admit its all so confusing with ADRs and state regs. that its hard to know what's OK.
