My new bumper arrived last week, and I managed to fit it on the weekend, though once again my early disco's thrown a curve ball in that the mounts won't line up due to metal in the way, so need to take a grinder to it at some point to make it fit back another centimetre or less. For the time being I just drilled it and bashed the bolt home so it was useable, but my helper needed to be dropped home before 7pm!
Looks amazing, and love the attention to detail from the chap, who even made a plate for the top and drilled & tapped holes and provided stainless screws for the number plate.
It's a custom version of their Rock Bumper, with a 2" Class III Receiver built into the front of the bumper, normally hidden by the number plate.

This bumper was made by Torque Performance 4x4 (www.tp4x4.co.uk) and cost £340 - the same as their Winch Bumper version. The normal rock bumper costs £260 IIRC, and postage is £40 as it's blinking heavy.

I like the lights in the bumper, nice looking bit of kit :D well done

Yeah, I'm considering doing a facelift headlight upgrade also :)

Very nice :Dthink I need to save some pennies for one :roll:I had thought about doing the face lift conversion but changed my mind as heard peeps kept getting their lights nicked, plus the older ones are cheaper to replace & I like the marker lights in the indicators

I've not head of any instances of that occuring round here to be fair, I could understand it when modding the facelift was all the rage, but I think it's died off a bit now. It is something to bear in mind when you do it though, may look at how secure they are if/when I do mine.

That is brilliant, wish i oculd find one for the RRC that was made as nicely.
