Thread: Lucky I wasn't in My Defender

Bugger,, That hit hard
Hope all's well,, be careful out there dude.

Thanks Chops,
Cows dead .

bent mounting bracket behind bulbar, should be able to straighten out easy enough, but surprisingly the alloy bar itself unscathed , Lots of cow poop on truck.

Im really surprised actually, I did expect to see some damage when I pulled over - but nothing apart from bulbar out of skelter !! However its a real motivator to get the brakes ugraded. Worst brakes on any vehicle Ive ever driven, ... not quite good as a non vacuum assisted 80"

An alloy bullbar, and only a slightly bent bracket, not bad. I would have thought you'd have sustained more than that, cool.

Worse than a Series brakes,, that can't be good on a light truck

Gee you nailed it good. Perhaps because it was relatively square on the damage was minimal. Still good to hear as something like that can change the whole trip quite quickly. Hows the cat count?

So the fridge is full of veal now .

No Veal, too much traffic, but not sure pre-tenderised side of beef would go too well ?? .

Im surprised that plastic lump over the join between the hoop and the bar survived, but two sections of the mesh are now concave. The bar is in front of the radiator so Im lucky, the grille with the iveco badge is in front of the intercooler.



Jason, interestingly have not seen one cat yet this year, but QLD still to come

Hi Goingbush.
I'm surprised to hear that the brakes in your Iveco are poor.. I ran a 65 C15 double cab in the UK and the brakes were massive and very effective. ABS was always kicking in/off as they were so responsive. Good to see you holding a straight line and not taking off to the left!
