aren't you guys limited to protrusions of 80mm from widest part of the body??
In case you ever go down the "brush rail" route - i can tell you from my own experience that the brush rails have saved this truck many times. I have hit 3 trees i can remember this year which are generally at the bottom of hills and a tight turn type scenario, i rolled the truck on its side on an off camber river bank so the truck lay on the passenger side for a good hour and i also wasn't watching while i parked and demo'd a garden wall
They do work assuming use of a heavy wall tube, quite a common addition to OZ/NZ trucks.
cheers.
