I used to have the rebel 3 piece alloy oneon my old Disco
(http://www.mud-club.com/galleryimages/520590-1109789524.)
Easy to fit but didn't fit with the winch bumper i brought
So i replaced it with a Southdown one

I now have a D44 version

Ive fitted one to a friends disco the other week.  Its a one peace guard but becuase they have a scorpion winch bumper it didn't fit but after a notch on both side its looking good.

I have one taken quite a beating but protected everything   :D did need a lot of spacing washers to make it fit though.

  :lol: my local pay and play site in Rochford essex http://www.4x4er.co.uk/home.html (http://www.4x4er.co.uk/home.html) can be very demanding i bent the bumper on the 1st outing  :doh: and have since cut it back by about 6 inches as it was rubbing on the tyres. I normally have muds on there but have taken them off as i needed to get the car as low as possible to work on it .

Hi bambamjj I have had mine for about 3 years now. The only drama is getting the steering bolt out I have attached a photo the red ring is round the bolt i used a hammer to get the bolt out which recked the thread you will need a bolt for the off side so get two one to replace the steering box bolt.

The bumper came from KTC off-road supplies in Wrexham about 2 and a half years ago. The a bar came attached but I had to get I local bloke to weld bits for the lights. My licence plate covers the hole for the winch.

i bought one at the land rover show at billing from rebel 4x4 , got it fitted at home but within less than 24 hours had bent it so it was touching the steering arms ( yes it was bent that bad) there great quality for the cost but could possibly do with a bit more strengthening, im  going to weld a bit of angle iron on the back as that shud hopfully make it a lot stronger
