I have a jeep. I've always owned Jeeps. Of the 70 models of the former CJ to the newer, more convenient way (or so says my wife) Cherokees. Do not know why I do, but I've always loved them. Recently, in an Outback trip I hit a kangaroo. I was only doing about 10 kmh so the damage was minimal, but this incident made me think of the frontal protection. So I called my partners in href = "http://www.allvehicleaccessories.com.au"> All accessories for the car in Melbourne to have a talk about bumper. During this talk raised the issue of smartbars. Before the conversation, do not even know existed. By so I went to Google to do research on products and found a lot of opinions (most of them based on aesthetics and perception rather and indeed useful), but almost no factual information. So me and my colleagues on all vehicle accessories dug a little more, and this is what we found.
Item 1. Security
With frontal protection products, are 3 areas of general concern for safety. It is the ability to protect passengers, the ability to protect pedestrians and the ability to protect your car. Speaking of protection in general, I think many starnge exponents bullbar there note that when you are traveling at 150 km / h, no matter what you hit, it will be fatal to the object and probably the vehicle. Personally I think These arguments are ridiculous, as suggested collissions are at excessive speeds and fire safety outcomes on the products at lower speeds. But only for make it clear to everyone when we are comparing these products along the lines of safety, we are comparing the performance in the fatal range. This means we are comparing the safety performance at the point of impact is going to kill a pedestrian, or a buckle on his chassis to the extent that your vehicle is written off.
The difference between the performance of bumpers and bumper smartbars occurs because rigid (ie, not giving them), while smartbars not. (That is, they are made of polyethylene with a hollow internal structure, so they have some give) With all the different view, at speeds that lead to the fatal impact, smartbars work better than bumper to protect you, the car and the person you hit. The way that minimizes the impact to absorb the force of the collision and therefore reduces injuries and damage. The damping effect of this absorption actually acts to slow the forces that collide at the point of impact. This has been demonstrated child's head by an independent impact tests. Just do a little research to find the studies.
To paint a picture of how well this works, imagine the pain if he fell and hit his head on a metal telephone pole. It would hurt you? Now imagine in the same fall, was one of the containers with large plastic wheels and hit his head slammed into the center of the tray where there was more to give. It would almost as painful. That's how smart bars work. Smartbars absorb the impact, the impact is not transferred to your vehicle, you or your passengers, or pedestrians that just hit.
Item 2. Performance
There is no argument that smartbars are significantly lighter than the bumper. This means better performance of your vehicle. To embellish, if you install a SmartBase instead of a bullbar, your vehicle will have less wear on the tires, use less suspension and safer handling, simply because it is lighter. They also provide better value for money than other alternatives and are more respectful the environment. Smartbars Manufacturing produces less than 1% of the greenhouse gases that manufacturing produces metal bumpers. So its performance is smartbars more efficient with your car, your wallet and the environment.
Item 3. Maintenance
It corrodes the metal. Metal loses its shine. Metal reflects. A bullbar oxidation requires significant work to clean. A significant bullbar deaf require polishing to shine again. And a bullbar on each occasion reflected his vision of another set of lights hitting. This is one of the defining features of the SmartBase. Maintenance requires a bucket of soapy water, sponge and a quick cleaning. That's all. Plastic parts no rust, requiring no grinding or polishing and will never reflect light from another source.
This is a simple presentation of the facts that I found in my research, viable products Looking frontal protection of my jeep. As always, do your own research and make the best decisions I can. I am sure that if we do an investigation and make its decision on facts rather than someone elses "tuff man" image, the decision will not be so difficult.
