Default Pic request: Trimmed front bumper w/ brush guard

I was hoping some people could post pictures of their DI's with the front bumper trimmed (lower valance removed) and still have the brush guard on the truck.

I've seen some pictures pretty close up to the truck but none really from a distance.

Thanks

On youtube there is a Wheeler Dealer where they turn a Disco 2 I believe into a "proper offroader".

There are 3 parts. Good info and good result.

That will bring up part 1.. should automatically suggest parts 2 and 3..

Thanks AK rover that is exactly what I was looking for.

I'll check out the wheeler dealer later but it should be interesting into what they turn it into.

Yes, they are Duratracs in C load range. I liked the Duratracs so much I bought a set for my Super Duty. They are a little louder on the road than an AT but not as bad as a true MT and they have handled everything I've put them through superbly. I have been especially impressed with their performance on icy roads.

I am considering those I might do load E cause the only negative I've seen on them is that the side walls are so flexable that they feel squishy on the highway. I think the higher load range would help being able to raise the pressure.

Well I cut the bumper using the technique of heating up a razor blade held by a vice grip and it came out pretty well. I've been meaning to put up pictures but haven't had very accessible internet past couple weeks.

Anyway here is a quick picture from this past weekend at Rausch Creek

Now you just need to get rid of those running boards.
