when i went to Tasmania, the dead roo were everywhere and i forgotten how many time i did emergency brake on the rental car to avoid hitting them. especially in the mountain roads
The animal Whistles which could be bought for $8 a pair from Super Cheap or from Repco or any Auto Accessory shop would certainly keep them away. These whistle WORK as they did on the Nullabour when 5 kangaroos came out of the scrub from the right - then did a smart about turn back into the scrub. No kangaroos were injured. Without the whistles in a location 30k west of Mundrabilla the situation could be a lot different. As for the bull bar it might not help if you hit a cow or a camel.
TJM bull bar. The right hand side fog light bracket was damaged but TJM gave me the new one to replaced. Other than that, I don't think any more damage on it. The bar did its job.
@@user-us9gl2fc5p ok brother, you convinced me to buy one. I imagine if you didn't have one your radiator might have been smashed and you'd need a tow.
@@abdullahal-shimri3091 The worst was that no reception of your mobile phone and was 1AM. Without that bull bar, I might have to stay in the dark of no where in the cold winter wait until someone drive pass next morning.
Mate, you obviously noticed the roos you past beside the road a few hundred meters before. You didn’t slow down at all, there’s a fair chance this could have been averted.
Give the guy a break. Sometimes driving at night your reflexes may be off. Especially on long trips. Here in the USA we have deers and bears getting hit all the time. They usually are out during a full moon or in the early dawn grazing.
Guy didn't even slow down, this was on purpose, I'm always confused about how people can hit roos, like it happens, but on the highway the other day I saw 8 of them in a hour stretch, now I know, crazy psychos like this that don't look, don't slow down and don't care. Maybe it the same person that keep disappearing all the towns cats...
@@rkaycom ... yes the roo co-operated on purpose. You clearly are not from Aus... they just jump out, suicide like. It takes maybe a couple of seconds... not enough time to react when you are concentrating on the road. I hit wallabies (smaller kangaroos) even driving at 40 kmh... they are hidden by grass on the roadside and sometimes you have a group of them popping out in front... how do you avoid them all. This was not a full speed crash... the car was driving slower already.
Hello. I am potentially interested in purchasing this footage for a Production Company to use in an upcoming film. Do you have anyway I can message you privately and is it in 4K? Thank you.
I need one of those in America come to find out we have heard immunity for people so I'm guessing people are going to become herds running across the road
A stupid one that’s for sure 🙄😄 This happens too many times. I have a TJM Bull bar on my LC200, first mod I did especially when driving along Australian roads
@@scottishmudders8357 what's up driving with night? Um, the fact that most animals are most active then - increasing risk, dramatically. A "Roo Bar" will only minimise damage to your vehicle in light collisions. Wack a roo or bull at high speed and your chassis will be bent and you'll absorb the force of impact. Your aorta/brain etc just isn't designed to absorb those forces without rupture, and a crumple zone is ESSENTIAL to decrease force from the impact to your body. A bullbar is a damage multiplier in every respect.
Bull bars “ can “ give Distribution of force now take 30/60mph travelling and you hit a roo on the corner the point of the bar and I could be wrong here is in the weak zones is to distort but not break and in the strongest point usually middle is to flattened whatever it hits. I’ve hit deers doing 60/70 and never had so much as distortion on my bar however mines built to be as sound as possible and probably weighs the same as the queen Mary. Bull bars are a necessary evil in certain places but I agree outwith game keepers, wardens and farmers/ miners etc there’s no reason to be travelling at night or such like
@@IIIPronGIII Australian speeds are slow. Kangaroos are slow. Change the culture of the vehicles. Let’s be agile and avoid collisions as a priority over adding structure to endure the collisions.

sorry about that Skippy. man you need a decent light bar
There was already a casualty @0:12
Lol, you noticed too
why don’t i see anything
Yep we hit about 2-3 a week - without a bullbar (ours is currently being made)
Same here in Wisconsin but we have deer instead.
Got buddy of mine to plasma cut out the "IRON CROSS" in the front and rear bumpers.Patched the cut out and it now says
"BAMBI BASHER"
Alpha male

The way it gets launched on impact 💀
Told him to flip off in two ways
Hit 2 now. Wrecked my bumper dented my radiator. Need to look into getting one. There is to many of these ff things out there
Too many humans around

You need to bump up your light bar…cant see shit..lol

I don't think he did until the 0:32 second mark. They looked pretty blended with the environment behind the post until that point

That's why the title says it is necessary, that way you can safely kill animals without damaging you car.

must have been on your phone
free meat on the way back home. want one for my navara in New zealand but we dont have the kanaroo
Save lots of money too
Did you have roo whistles on?
no, it's not work
Knocked Roos shirt right off 👀

Kangaroos are just Australian deer
Was" another one bites the dust " playing at the time
I reckon you could have done a safe aversion here.
F'ing roos man
Mate
Been there hit that.
And bull bars r banned in india
India don’t have kangaroos that step foot in front of your car while driving 90-100km 🦘
@@185transporter actually bull bars damages other person in accident ,and many other reasons r also there that's why they r banned in India.
So are Kangaroos
@@Kwatshivo Cows are gods there.
Bye skippy!
any idea what kind of kangaroo it is?
A dead one.

@@185transporter bruh
A dead one
Skippius Morabundus Marsupialias.
Yowch...
No dude. Youre drving at night for one. Change dangerous driving habits and you dont have these issues.
Have you driven the outback roads ? What’s up with driving at night ? Also they are called bull/ roo bars for a reason

Hope next time you can react and brake earlier, it'd been saved. That hit must definitely hurt massively.
How dare you
Did you see the way he splattered across the bitumen after being launched on impact? Bye skippy! 😢😂😂😂😂
Thanks Gretta,
you made me laugh.
There was sufficient time to avoid that. A bull bar isn’t necessary.
You've got no idea what you are talking about.

The roo was on the road for 1 second…

I got a bull bar and it continues to keep me safe from bad drivers and wildlife.

You are driving to fast, and not driving with proper lighting.
coulda gone onto other side of the road. you would see anyone elses lights
