looked these up on outerlimits4x4.com a while ago, and there were mixed reactions. many said they continued hitting roos, some say they work. i think either way its just plain bad luck if you hit one. i cruised around gramps at 80k until i hit a roo when i was doing about 50k. theres no avoiding the death roos.
