G'day everyone. Thoughts on the following from Jimnybits.uk. It's a tow point/Winch bracket so you can have a Winch installed and not have to install a bull bar. My question is, would installing this interfere with the airbags functioning in an accident and would this part be totally non adr compliant EG, voiding insurance? http://www.jimnybits.co.uk/shop/jimny/a ... _1402.html |

they may not effect the way the airbags work as they are g force sensored. but the will probably void insurance and almost eveyr thing these days does. |

it will strengthen the front of your car, and will cause airbags to deploy in a frontal impact that would normally only crumple the front of your car. but a bullbar does this any way and if bull bars are adr complant then this should be too. if having a bull bar voids your insurence, then you need to burn down your insurers corporate office building. |

Thanks for the replies. It wouldn't make the Winch protrude out the front much so I can't imagine it would be a problem for pedestrians like they say fishing rod holders are. Could airflow to the radiator at the front be a problem since the Winch blocks nearly all the space?? |

I thought as much. Dunno how many they would have sold of these. Think I'd prefer a bull bar with a Winch installed. Thanks for the thoughts! Cheers! |
