Cant say ive noticed 90% of 4x4s with spottys having them on top of the bullbar. In fact id say ive only seen a handful. Most people slot them in behind the bar where they can get a bit of protection. Id imagine they would fall into the same type of category as fitting bonnet scoops. Believe it or not the legalities seem to be more focused on how much damage you will do to a pedestrian should one go over the bonnet
As for the swaybar. I just took mine off then and took it for a bit of a drive around the block, noticed very little difference at all if any. Maybe a little floaty through the corners but if it improves things offroad I cant see it being a problem !
.....ok, fine, i exaggerated about the % of lights, and i live in a bogan area, so the stats might be a bit of anyways , but i will try and remember to take a 'in cab' pic for you whingers tomorrow after i take the swaybar off and test it on secret tracks
I was thinking of your spottys driving home last night and tried to picture having a set on mine. I have to agree with you that it wouldnt impede your view past about 5 metres in front of the car. However I like having decent visibility out the front since the rear and sides are so poor.
Ive almost wiped out a few cyclists because I simply can't see the bastards out the rear side windows!! And I havn't even lifted it yet!
Well, the sway bar is goooneski , and makes a hella alot of difference offroad , but onroad, as others have said, I didn't notice anything except a fraction more body roll than usuall (maybe), could just be a placebo effect Now, for the pics
With Sway bar:
Without
EDIT: took all of 2mins to take off, so I think i'll do without the worry of getting in trouble and just chuck it back on, till I go offroad again.
The front sway bar can be "adjusted" (well sort of) by loosening off the mounting bolts a bit, also improving the front end articulation. The nuts are all "nyloc" ones so they won't fall off- just back them off a bit in the four places where the rubber bush mounts are, at either sway bar end and at the top of the D bush to chassis mounts. Loosen the nuts off but make sure the rubber bushes are still compressed and not loose- and the some of the thread is still visible at the top of the nut.
With my H/D rear springs I've managed to increase rear end traction through round abouts (a lot harder to get the inside rear wheel spinning) and the ride has improved in the front end. I tried tightening the bar up a bit first and the rear wheel would spin extremely easily when doing quick right turns at roundabouts, now it's much improved.
The good part about adjusting this way (over total bar removal) is the body roll is still controlled - with the bar totally removed it was like driving a barge! I would hate to have to swerve to avoid an accident without one fitted....
Quite likely the bushes will not last as long with the looser adjustment, but I'll see how they go.
