My wife and are doing our first big trip this winter from SA to Far North Queensland and the NT. We will be sticking to main roads and not travelling at dawn or dusk, do you believe a bull bar is a necessity or just a nice to have option, or will a nudge bar suffice? We drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone had been on the gatton-Clifton road recently, if so what is the condition. Have heard it's an easier drive to get to the New England hwy than going over the gap or up the toowoomba range, any feedback most welcome. Cheers whitey2.
