Listen up all you nancy boy magna owners (especially you "tuff tr")

I just purchased myself a custom made bull bar and it i'll tell you right now that it looks mean! meaner than all your crappy lowered kitted up tub os'.

So, i want all the world to know that I drive the toughest and best TR magna on the road!

any questions??















:nuts:

Was that the bullbar that was on Ebay from country Vic?
does it fit inplace of the bumper or infront of the bumper?
If it is the Ebay bullbar it is a nice looking bar, but be careful not to hit any roos with it. The mounting brackets on it are solid to the bar and have no pivot or give before the chassis rails.
So hit a roo at speed or anything for that matter with it fitted and say "bye bye" to your nice straight chassis rails. try not to bottom it out either, could result in the same damage.

Pic Pic Pic!!!

why didnt you buy a 4WD for that kind of thing?

I really like your attitude :nuts:

...'n why shouldn't he be happy with a successful installation?

Post a pic dude :)

Benau,

Yes it is the bar that was posted on e'bay! And you concern about the bending of chassis rails is noted... but because the bar is a lightweight alloy I would expect the chassis rails to be far stronger!

The answer to the other question is that yes it does replace the bumper bar!

The answer to the other other question is that 4wd's are a long way out of my price range... well as long as I am studying anyway!

I'll try and get a photo up asap... however my digi camera is holidaying in India atm!

(and the attitude is just put on aswell... trying to keep up a mean bull bar wearer type attitude... and tuff tr its nothing personal, just i wanted your name)

You digital camera goes on holidays to India? :nuts:

Wow.... I wish I was rich enough to send myself to Melbourne for a few days :doubt:

post some pics up weaky we'll see whos owns the best bull bar :dancin: :roll: :hand:




p.s guess who just de-badged his car :dancin: :dancin:

Not having a go at you guys but,
can someone please explain the logic of putting a bullbar on a magna... its doing my head in! :nuts:

umm not entirly sure, i think my nannsu conviced my dad to put one on when we got the car (93) and has been there ever since.

my nannu has had a bullbar on every car he's owned and made my dad get one, meh, i aint complaining.

i see no point myself, but they look awesome, specialy the one thats on my car.

hey i mean if we ever cross paths with a bull, ill be prepared!

Some of us live in the country - roos live here. :)

Seriously, having a Magna Wagon I did seriously consider a nice big 5 post roo bar, stainless steel side skirts, big country stickers etc. (you know, the V8 feral ute look).
But when I came accross the fibreglass side skirts and thought about the added weight - chose not to.

Good luck with your roo bar - please post a pic when your camera's back - would be good to see one fitted.

EH it's a mod

well, it sure aint rice!

my nudge bar does wonders, it defends me against city kangaroos,
also known as volvo drivers.

Theres 2 magnas in berowra (where i live) with bull bars. One is a TS and it looks ****house. Same one that replaces front bar. The other was a 3rd gen with this crappy plastic pedestrian bar

Don't be so surprised, the av daily wage where i went to in china earlier this year was AUD$6.50. India's where I'm going next year!

yeah ive been to india and i would not recomend you go there thinking its like china!!

im not sure you can class a bull bar as a mod either ill have to examine the rule book

your try hitting a roo at speed :)
lol yep i can vouch for that.. well a mate can, his benz hit a 6foot 8 roo. im suprised his car wasnt totaled!

i wanna see pics of the new roo bar too! oh and tuff, talk about debadging? guess whos gettin lights installed durin the holidays :cool:

Needs chromies, lowering, parabolics, window tinting and the hideous pedestrian bar removed

Needs chromies, lowering, parabolics, window tinting and the hideous pedestrian bar removed
chromies - i want, but to expensive
lowering - early next year ill be doing just that :cool:
paras - again if i can find a cheap pair, itll get done.
tinting - ITS 20% ALL ROUND MAN!!!
bar removed - (stewie voice) "BURN IN HELL"

serioulsy dood im leaving it on as it makes the car stand out, like it or not it makes it a one of a kind car, so its staying, in real life, it does look good, trust me :D

well stop hassling you about the nudge bar when u stop hassling me about my rear louvre :P

hey when i diss your louvre?

long time ago grasshopper :P when i first joined here :P

ah well :P no more magna for craig now anyway :(

ok so im guessing your selling it?
why?
bad fuel economy?
something else?

read my "Hypothetical Hatch :P" thread.

but back on topic, i actually prefer the nudge bars to bullbars, much much better aesthetics :P

crap so mines called a nudge bar? damn i liked calling it a bull bar.

oh crap i hope the bull bar hes putting on isnt actully replacing the bumper bar...dear god i hope not

Benau,


The answer to the other question is that yes it does replace the bumper bar!



yep.

cmon man! we need pics!

Not sure, but I think this is the bar that was on ebay...

Cab.Sav. - is this the one?

o dear god no

well i suppose we cant really make any judgement until its on the car..but i think we could be heading for a B & S magna here :D pfft at all the hz feral ute n00bs, go the magna!

Listen up all you nancy boy magna owners
Do you realise you spelt your name wrong?

Or is it a play on words of sort???

well i suppose we cant really make any judgement until its on the car..but i think we could be heading for a B & S magna here :D pfft at all the hz feral ute n00bs, go the magna!
Go the B&S Magna :D (If that is the correct Roo/Bull Bar)
Once that's on - go to a good Stainless Steel Place and have some of the Stainless plain or checkerplate side skirts made up (approx. $150-$200) and then add some feral stickers (and the AMC one of course), big spot lights (maybe yellow or blue) and maybe some truck (yellow/red) lights down the side (on the skirts) :badgrin: :badgrin:

A different idea - when you put a set of chromies, make sure that ur nudge bar is polished up and they will go well together


crap so mines called a nudge bar? damn i liked calling it a bull bar.
Yep, sorry to break it to you. Bull bars protect the entire bumper, and usually have a mesh/grille over the radiator so as to protect it from, err, 'shrapnel' from the bull...

GRDpuck.

I'm already on it!!! I am fitting up a few antenna's and spotties today! I will try and get some pics up by this evening.

you wouldn't happen to know a place in melbourne that I could start looking for side skirts would you?

GRDpuck.

Hoo-ha - Go the B&S Magna!

Nah, not in Melbourne, but I do know of a place up here in Ballarat.
Grab a yellow pages, and look up 'Steel Fabricators' & 'Sheet Metal Workers', then browse thru the adds looking for 'Stainless Steel' & 'Aluminium', then go to town with ya phone!

Oh and don't forget to get them to make up some rear pods to attach to the rear bumper as well.
And I know of a nice SS Com. ute here in Ballarat that even has (thick) Stainless Steel mud flaps - they look wild. (and I'm not talking about the cheap aftermarket type. These look like normal flat mudflaps but are about 5mm thick!)

Have you got the CB radios too (mounted on the interior roof so ya can see the cords dangle.

hmmm, maybe I shud-a-don-this :doubt:

GRDPuck - there is a Magna wagon in Tassie that is set up just like that... hehe. It has big mud flaps going right across the back, a massive bull bar, and roo-shooter lights at the top. And dont forget the bull-horn decals on the windscreen :)

PICS PICS PICS (if ya ever see it again)
I just want to see it, but could give 'Cab.Sav. some more ideas.
... and why are they not members :rant:
... or are they :redface:

i just saw it driving past. If i ever see it again i'll try and take pics. No, they aren't members :)

The B&S Magna is getting there slowly...

At the moment we are decked out as follows:

Bull Bar
UHF antenna (mounted in the side of the bonnet)
AM CM antenna (mounted a-top bull bar)
Driving Lights (small rectangular (mounted low and widish on the bull bar))
Driving Lights (medium spots (mounted standard central))
"Jack Lives Here" sticker on windscreen

.... The antenna's actually do have radios attached to the other end aswell.... and sorry but they are not mounted on the roof... it would just sit too low.

STILL TO COME (Hopefully)
A new rear bumper (after some p*$@ ran up my rear while I was parked)
Side Skirts
Mud Flaps
HF antenna (got the radio... just can't affort an antenna)

(YEAH YEAH PHOTO'S I KNOW I KNOW)

That is just nuts. I can't wait to see that! :bouncin:

puck thats the bullbar i saw on ebay, I would have bought it too, but alas it was in VIC and it also has solid brackets as noted earlier.
Cab.Sav the stainless side skirts you are looking for are available off the shelf and are called "Stone-flectors" try "blueys ute world" in Melbourne
I have had a lot of different cars many with bull and nudge bars, i have also had more high speed animal strikes at night and during dusk than i can remember.
1. hitting 2 5ft roos at once in a Datsun ute with no bullbar and writing it off. (one in the left headlight and one in the right)
2. hitting another 5ft roo at 120kph in a VN with an alloy bullbar, it happend so quick i didn't react to brake before impact, the roo came from the left and on the up bounce i hit it dead centre of the car, the roo landed clear of the far side of the road and was dead before it hit the ground. The bullbar was twisted back on it's mounts so my driving lights now pointed up at 45degs. The bolts that gave were the ones between the brackets and the bullbar, not the brackets and the chassis rails. only damage to the car was 2 small scratches in the plastic bumper behind the bull bar mounts from where it had touched.
3. i was lazy so insted of realigning the bullbar i took it off and put back on a nudge bar i had to suit the VN, 3 months later, at night and in fog, i had a black cow walk out in front of me and i hit it at 60kph, this totalled the VN's front left panels but the car still made it the 150km home because the nudgebar did actually save the radiator, but nothing else.

In the 10 months i have owned my current magna I have had 2 roo hits but in both case I managed to dodge the roo only to have it jump into the side of the car. One of of these roos took out my drivers door mirror and scratched from there back to the taillight :rant:

these pics are of the bullbar that is on my GF's commodore wagon, it is the same style as my old bullbar. Yes, the front panels on this car are on my "to do list" (anyone in NSW/SE QLD got a clean white VN commodore bonnet going cheap?)

Benau

I hear your concern RE Solid mount! I might get a few opinions over the next few weeks.

Another Q: Does anyone reading this thread know where I can find a rear bumper in good nick for low $$? Colour is burgandy.

try your local wreckers or www.ozeparts.com.au. in both cases you will most likely have to get it repainted to suit your cars colour

if it wernt for you people actully useing those bullbars for what they are designed for, i would say there the ugliest looking things around, but since you use them for what there intended for, i wont :P

I'm looking into Checkerplated side skirts and some large Mudflaps (probably CAT)

Opinion? Ideas?

Dear fellow Magna Mates, Get it right Trucks Have Bull Bars, Cars have Roo Bars (or Pedestrian Bars). I like to see magna hit bull , might take its knees out... :bowrofl:
Get it lowered, lose the bar, you might just drive underneath it.....
:bowrofl:
