Bull bars, nudge bars = safe?

[OTEP]

Nudge bars are add-on tubular devices which are primarily decorative but will take light impacts. Yes, some of them can be used to 'gently' push stuff out of the way.

Airbag sensors are usually placed in the cabin (where they are protected from the elements). They fire by detecting the amount of decelleration (spell check, please) a vehicle experiences (in g's). Some bars can cushion or exaggerate impacts which can confuse the SRS sensor.

Personally, the DMAX looks cleaner without the Carryboy thingie...

there was a controversial study here in the US that concluded that these devices did not necessarily decrease safety for the vehicle equipped with them, but were definitely more harmful to any other vehicles (and their occupants) it hit in an accident

i think we might have discussed this in this forum, actually....i'll try to find the article.
