i had one of those on my series 1 disco
hard as nails

one mod i eventually did was to thin it down at the ends

by the wheel arch i measured down 1 1/2",  same at the corner then drew a diagonal line down to the jacking tube, lopped the lot of with thangle grinder and did wonders for approach angle

never bothered welding the return back on the lower edge and it took a lo of stick, never bent.
