Great,

If we knew enough about the original design, and had
some mechanical engineering buddies, we could probably
estimate how affective a front "bull bar" would be.
The goal of course would be to improve the vanagon
crush zone so it does acceptably well in a front end
crash.  The crash test head injury number for vanagon
driver/passenger ranges from 1905/1060 (1988) to
1320/899 (1988 GL).  I think at 1000 you're dead.  A
goal would be to reduce these numbers to at least 600.
 I wonder how many feet a bull bar would have to stick
out, and what its crush charcteristics would have to
be to accomplish this?
