Here's a question I have often pondered... maybe you can all answer it for me
When 4WD'ing what do you guys do about airbags and the chance they might go off.
When I was up at Teewah beach the other week the undulations along the beach were quite severe in places... most you could go around, others I had a bit of fun over.
One, however had quite a steep drop off and gave us a good ol' whack when the nudge bar hit the sand... I'm sure the front was airborn for a second.
If that was something less forgiving than sand, how much of a whack would it take to set off the airbags??
For eg... the damage Ruthy did to Milo's steel bullbar in the Tassie DVD was caused by sliding down a slippery track and hitting a tree stump or something at the bottom. I would think that impact would set off the airbags in a modern vehicle.
People in the past have mentioned that they remove the airbag and the ABS fuses when going off road.
Any thoughts?????
[not really a 90 or 120 specific question so in 'General Discussion' it goes ]
