Yeah my buddy has one that we put a turbo and power steering on. Definately gets some weird looks driving it around town LOL. Im actually looking on bidding on a M934A2 to turn into an RV and tow rig for the disco.

Mine has the multifuel turbo engine, it screams like a raped ape.
Power steering would be nice, you get a workout driving one no doubt.

Actually that weight is a little too high.
Hard to see in the pic, but that bumper is only the full 7" in the center section, we tapered it to 4" from the center section to the returns at the body, those drops were several lbs each. Also I think the weight figures for the 3x3x1/4" are high as we computed the total length of what you bought and did not subract for the drops and the notches at the frame.
It is heavy and substantial, that's for sure, but the total gross weight you stated is a little high.
Maybe when it comes off we will scale it and see.
If the stock bumber and plastic **** was still laying around we would scale that to get a differential, but by now it has been turned into a Huyndai.
I'll scope out a stock D1 and see just how much further this new bumper projects that stock, but I can tell you it's not as far as you might think.

How little would you let it go far? Be generous to an old man.

Also did not use the crappy Superwinch fairlead that is included in the winch weight, so there is 5-10 lbs to deduct....and the channel mount that we modded for the winch mount was cut down and altered so another couple lbs loss there.
