Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i think its cheap insurance nothing ever will b 100% roo proof...no way possible can it be.....even if u take a few palstic ones.,. they are liek $6.95 a pack at my shop.... and well shoo roo being a bit more expensive...if fitted to a proteced area on the front he wont block up.... if they save 3 out of 5 times..better than gettin hit out of 5 times i rekon!

as i say mite not be 100% but if it saves u even 40% of the time its money worht spending

To all the Shoo Roo devotees, I'll be more than happy to sell you a Hi-Clone too for the dramatically reduced price of twice the RRP if you like ...

Pay particular attention to the conclusions ...

SHOO ROOS >>>>=BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY YET TO BE SEEN>>>>you probably see a shoo roo on 30-40% of country 4x4s and cars and well they must be making a good living in the shoo roo industry also the whistles i have found to b a hole lot of bull s**t...lol me and a mate were driving in the forest/mountain and we thought we would see how the shoo roo worked on a small group pf roos got to with in 20-30 ms with the shoo roo blasting away and the little buggers looked at us then kept eating...tellin u now if u buy 1 i cant see them performing as my aunty has 1 on her rodeo and has hit more than a few roos they simply dont do nething...thats my experience and my 2 c

never had a shoo roo, but the day I put those whistle things on the old rodeo I hit 2 roods down on the braidwood rd.....one broke the whistle of when he hit the bar

do they have shoo wife ?

Having just returned from Alice springs and in doing so we did most of our driving at night ( cooler conditions ), obviously the roos were an issue before we even turned the key to head home.........

Plastic whistles fitted ..... were laughing ....... NOT !! they had SFA effect on the roos to the point that I actually drove right up to a huge mutha ( 2 metres from the bonnet ) and then hit the sirens ..... even they only made him move off the road at a casual hop.
The Klaxton horn didnt work any better

After yaking to a road train driver we were following we were informed of the perfect solution......
Sit behind the truck ...... let him hit em first !

After 20 odd close calls ( and I mean almost full lock ups at 120KPH ) we sat back in behind the truck for the worst known section around Cooper Pedy.....
The truckie hit 15 odd roos and we were right there to see the fur fly as carcases cartwheeled by us ! We ran over 2 that had gotten under the rig but all we felt was a slight bump from the pulverised remains.


As the truckie told us the whistley things and electric boxes arent worth jack shyte and the best solution was not to be the lead car / rig unless ya had a forken big strong bar up front !
This came from a guy that drives from Adelaide to Darwin once every week and recons on average he'd hit 50 odd roos per trip. He also said that October through to April was the worst time for roo strikes, october was the time they get together for breeding and to sort out the male dominance issues within a mob, and as the months move onward they still come up to the roads for the green pick found on the edges of the roads. Droughts were usually the worst time as the roadside populations often doubled with numbers looking for a feed.

In the early daylight we were supprised to see foxes and phucin big eagles feeding on the remains from that nights kills....... the crows however were sitting well back away from the road .... we also saw 3 dead foxes but not a single dead eagle or crow. The crows got their feed from the dead roos around mid morning after the foxes n eagles had had their fill.



Conclusion.......

follow another vehicle and let them hit em first

Kingy

the only 100% guaranteed protection from roos .....
