Hello
First of all let me say that where I live and with my Defender in particular, it is fully legal to have a full metal bullbar or a-bar fitted. My registration even includes a bullbar, so lets not worry about it.
Now on the thread subject, I happen to drive a lot in areas where lots of animals roam in freedom, mostly cattle, goats and a small stout breed of horses called garranos. In the mountains, specially during the latter hours of the day, those furry things have a tendency to jump right to the front of the car, and I had my share of near misses.
Which protection would be better? A full bullbar or an a-bar?
Bull barsweight a ton, are getting expensive and I have some doubts about the way they attach to the bumper.
A-bars look like a much lighter and cheaper alternative, but are they any effective?
Thanks in advance for any help
