Default 04 Discovery Rear Bumper Replacement

The rear bumper cover was slightly cracked when I purchased the truck, and since it's gotten far worse.

I've done some looking into aftermarket steel bumpers and the price is comparable to the factory plastic bumper. I cannot seem to find one that has the holes for the PDC (reverse beepy sensors) and I sure as heck don't want to get rid of them. DII's don't have the best visibility in the rear, and the annoying beep has saved my bacon a few times.

Here's the stock bumper with "PDC" Oddly cheaper than without PDC?
Bumper Rear Discovery II ( With PDC ) (Genuine Part # DQC000180PMA ) - Land Rover body panels/fittings/trim exterior from Atlantic British

TerraFirma HD rear bumper - I like the looks of this, just no bueno with PDC
TF090 - Discovery 2 Rear Heavy Duty Bumpers

RTE Bumper - Freaking Awesome! 50% of what the truck cost me.

What's the best bang for your buck?
Any others out there I couldn't find on Google?
Are there any that come with holes for the PDC?

I see that the RTE one has sensors mounted in it. As for the Terrafirma one, can you not attack it with a suitable sized drill bit?

We have had customers who do not want to get rid of the PDC drill holes in their TF090.

Alright, I guess the TF090 wins. I'm cheap. I'd like to think I'm capable of drilling a few holes.

You'll have to drill a couple more because the Terrafirma's bumper holes don't line up where it's supposed to mount haha.

Their front one is really a piece of art for a mass produced bumper. I've installed a few of the rear and have always had to spend an extra 30 minutes wallowing out the rear hitch holes.

Nobody here believes you've ever actually worked on a truck.
