Food for thought. Thanks for the explanation. I would put that at the forefront of your marketing to explain the pigtails.

Agreed. Gives really nice context. I would trade off aesthetic for function now that I know it.Thanks for explaining that. Gotta respect a function-first design decision.
I have seen the welds on your products.
Animals.
I can understand that for the protection of animals or branches. I had also thought about getting a bullbar mainly because of the branches and also to tie horses to it. But I decided against it. I have no sympathy for the mallcrawlers. I personally find that ridiculous.
You can attach a wire from the bar to the roofrack to ward off smaller branches , though without a paint protection film you'll still get scratched, especially by certain species of tree.
I've got some really nice super deep scratches in the hood of my F250 from just that, tying a horse to the bull bar. He decided to try and take a bite. Lesson learned for me.
Yes, I had that thought too. Even horses, which I value highly, can't judge the value of a vehicle.

I'm not a fan of this design. Glad I got the OEM from Africa.
Both good suggestions. But with the wire from the bonnet to the roof, I look like I want to cross the Darien Gap every day. And you have to bend down to tie them to the eyelets. Even the cowboys in the Wild West knew why they installed their wooden beams in front of the saloons to tie up the horses at standing height.You can attach a wire from the bar to the roofrack to ward off smaller branches , though without a paint protection film you'll still get scratched, especially by certain species of tree.
I'd attach a horse to the recovery loops , using a bridle rope if needed
Shipping invoice on my OEM from AUS was 33kg or 72 lbs. Not sure how much of that is cardboard and foam but I'd guess about 10-15lbs.
If you want to successfully complete the Darien Gap you need to buy a used , open topped , previously rolled S2 Land Rover.Both good suggestions.

I have one. Its in original condition. But it's too good for it and will be sold soon.
But some long alloy ladders with the proceeds. And some explosives. You need them for the Darien.
Yes it does.
