Like all accessories no they aren't necessary but can be a valuable asset. Plenty of people take their stock vehicles out 4wding and touring without any problems.
I'm sure there luck will run out one day. I hit an Emu near Cameron's Corner on a clear July day. Glad it bounced off the bullbar and I was able to make the trip without any problems. It ran straight out of the low lying scrub and I had no chance in avoiding it.

Hi GU Rich
If you ever happen to hit another one, and it doesn't survive, any chance you could freeze it and freight it to me...... 8) 8) 8)

Is a bullbar necessary to drive around town? Probably not
Can someone have a bull bar just because they have the money and like the look? Probably

Is a 200series Landcruiser necessary to tow a camper trailer???? Probably not!
Can someone have a 200 series Landcruiser to tow their camer trailer? Probably

Do I care what either of the above choose to buy/use? NO

sometimes people worry too much about what everyone else is doing when they should just be enjoying their own life.
But usually it is to justify their own decisions in life.

Years ago I copped a serve from my brother and sister-in-law, whom I was visiting in Melbourne,  for driving a 4wd (patrol) because they were too big and blocked the view of car driver's behind.  Then as we left the pub to go home they walked up to their 2wd Ford Territory!  When I told them that they were a bit rich having a go at me & my 4wd, their answer was "it's only 2wd"!  WTF!!!  >:D

I feel better now - I have the big bad Patrol striking fear into the hearts of modest motorists everywhere, but it is nicely offset by the 2wd Territory that it shares the driveway with  :angel:

Okay, you have made me jealous.  I have not eaten emu for about 4 years, but we will be fixing that before the end of the year.
