seen a couple of pics of defenders on the site recently with cables from the roof rack to the bullbar, I'll ask the stupid question, what are they for?

I thought they were brush guards to keep the pesky lianas at bay.

The Yanks call them Limb Risers

I thought they were to watch Galahs get sliced in half on those long drives out west to keep you awake, or if you get stuck somewhere at least you can play a tune to while away the time.

As others have pointed out they are for deflecting branches and wires strung across the road so they don't break the windscreen. I believe they are illegal in all states because of their likely effect on pedestrians.

Yep for stopping branches and the like from hitting the windscreen

If you've never seen one of the shows you're in for a suprise at just how hard a Landy can be hammered and continue to proceed 8O

Yep they are for stopping branches and general tree stuff from hitting the windscrean but also stop branches whipping you around the face when you have the window open.
