Title: Rear Bumpers
Post by: lee celtic on March 01, 2008, 21:14:51

Hi All

Can I pick all your brains..

I need a new back bumper I would like one that is all steel with jacking/recovery points and good departure angles any ideas/sugestions welcome as I want to check out as many as possible before making a decision . :D

I've got a Discoparts one.The finish on the powder coating isn't great but it has got  two jacking tubes and you can get a central recovery point that bolts on.
It has been good until i got it caught on a hiden tree stump and tore the metal.Think it was bowt £175 inc.

At the end of the day you have to decide how much you want to spend and go from there!

just my thoughts

I had a Discoparts rear bumper a while ago
Didn't take much to bend it either
Unfortunetly there isn't much choice when it comes to disco rear bumpers
Could you not make one yourself?
I've seen a few homemade ones now and it doesn't look horribly hard
 :D

I'm looking for one too as I am fed up of loosing end caps. Guardian was doing one but seems not to have any for sale at the moment...perhaps he'll read this and tell us why?

The Garage doing the repairs for me after the shunt tell me I have 455 quids worth of damage if replaced with ome parts but I can choose non standard replacements the 455 has to include labour for bolting the bits on so I need a tow hitch drop plate and bumper to be honest I would add to the money to get better bits fitted as the insurance will be paying the majority of it...

do like this though :D

I've got a Guardian on my RRC,
Good, solid & cheap enough.
If you contcat them he'll probably do you one to order.
I've also got their tank guard & rock sliders.
Well made stuff.

Ron.
