Hello and Welcome.
Nice looking truck. I love the winch bumper. Don't think they're available here though.
I think they would hang you in the town square over here in Belgium if you dared buying a bar like that for your Nav. Not pedestrian friendly enough according to the smart people in Brussels.
As someone said on here before when those pedestrian safety laws were being discussed: "If you're hit by a Navara, the least of your worries will be the bumper"
it's like forcing a law to put cushions and teddy-bears on the front of 18wheelers so the pedestrians are safer when they get hit by it at 40mph in the middle of town. makes it a bit more comfortable, but most likely won't change the outcome.
on the other hand the new ranger got incredibly high marks for pedestrian safety, even better than small, "conventional" cars like a bmw 1series or an astra. that might get a little bit worse with something like that up front *g*
personally, i would go for a huge bar, too. because honestly, when i hit something i'm primarily concered about me and whoever is with me, and only secondarily about who is/was in front of me. and for that, i think that bumper will work just right.
but down under things are different. i remeber when i was there even a lot of station wagons and small hatchbacks had large front bars, and most of them weren't for show :mrgreen:
