unusual bumper bar setup

[Jared Archibald]

I reckon Motto was on the right track.

Across the tropical north we have huge numbers of termite mounds. Most are not the size of the one the bloke is standing next to in the pic, but about knee high, and as hard as concrete when it comes to I-beam front axles and drag links.

With the bar inverted like that , it is the perfect height to shave the tops off the mounds to just below front axle height when travelling through long grass.If you hit a particularly strong one, it will stop the truck before doing steering damage.

A fine field expedient modification!
