And the moral of this story is??

The moral would be, they look funny sitting in the Woolies carpark among all the Toymotas and Magnas, I seen one last night and I had to stop and marvel at the various accoutrements the owner had adorned his two door steel horse with.

But you have to love them. I also like the Hilux that gets turned into a mini Mack truck look, we have a few of them out here.

Other than the 5 poster bull bar and roof mounted spotlights I wouldn't think anything else is questionable on them.

Pretty rare that I've seen a lowered one.

Would think a lifted 4wd would be more dangerous. Even legally lifted ones.

There are few around Esperance and while not my taste, each to their own.

what's the idea of the twin 10 Ft antenna's on the front mounted on the Bull Bar , does having 2 x 9db gain Antennas give you a 18 db gain so you can enough gain on UHF to broadcast to the moon?

Two antennae are against the rules, in Qld, anyway. See my post in Sealed beam lights
