SubscriberA trolley jack will do it. I have fitted and removed bullbars by myself several times and not ones that just slotted on. I am sure the bar makers could come up with a fitting for a trolley jack.
How many of us have the facilities , space and strength to lift a 100kg plus,
bar/winch/lights combo off, put it in the shed, and then lift it back on when we
want to go out of suburbia
Most bullbars come in at about 35-37 Kg .
My suggestion is if the authorities decide to ban bullbars in cities as they already have in Europe. In that case you may have no choice and a removable one may be the only answer.
I just had another thought. The whole bar need not come off, just the loops. Think, the loops could be socketed into the bumper part of the bar. In the USA and UK most front bumpers do not have loops. You could leave the bumper and winch in place with maybe a cover, and maybe even driving lights. This would probably be approved if the profile of the bar was like the original bumper profile.

What if you're passing through?
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
Carry a trolly jack with you.

SubscriberWell if I were making the laws it would be easy to confine bullbars to say expressways or B double approved roads for example.What if you're passing through?
No pedestrians there.
Goodness I seem to be developing instant transport policy .
Maybe I should copy Duncan Gay on this thread. LOL

SupporterOr you could just put on a modern ADR compliant bullbar that is pedestrian friendly and by the comments on AULRO seems to protect reasonably well against the wildlife.

Ban pedestrians, not bullbars

Plenty of places have B-double routes in the centre of town.

SubscriberOf course they have a vested interest, The industry council is a lobby group of manufacturers of offroad equipment such as bullbars, nothing to do with pedestrian safety.Seems the council has a 'vested' interest in this topic

G'day Tote, I didn't mean it was a BAD thingprobably means something will get done to preserve the interest
like Clive as boss of the PUP, will probably mean PUP will be good for Clive. So we need to convince Clive to dump the Bently and buy a LR with a bullbar....
