You talking about the headlights Arm&Hammer?
That is a non US model, pre-'94.
Discos were first made in '89 as a 3 door, then brought to the US in '94 as a '95 model.

The ones I sell will have a place for you to install D-rings.
Those tabs on the front of "The Little Guy" are for that.
You can use the D-rings for lifting and pulling.

Spike- something to keep in mind is that you will want something to delete the crush cans in front or you will winch the bumper off the truck. This will also make it a lot stiffer in an accident, and you will need to market these as NON AIRBAG.. They may deploy too soon or not at all... Just making sure you cover your butt. Part of the cost of ARB's bumpers is the legal department....

People can make whatever they want and it is on them. If they pay you for it, it is on you....Just looking out for you buddy..

Just my backwards way of thinking, and I know 0 about crush cans, air bags or bumpers.

Can't you design it to hook behind a bolt on the frame so that it can't be pulled but it can be pushed?

Some very good points, we will be figuring that out too.
Once we are up and running I am going to hire a lawyer for the legal beagle stuff to get the proper tax I.D., LLC and so fourth.
If the demand is to low then I wont bother, but if it is as big as I think it is going to be, then I will.
