Looks like both bumpers have turn signal spaces and come with the lenses to put in there. I'd put the 03-04 OEM fogs in the holes and put the new style headlight washer on. I was just wondering if there was any "trimming" to the fascia or metal work that was needed other than the bolt on.

Shouldn't be. Here's a picture of the old bumper on the newer truck. The area under the headlights looks to be the same.

I completely upgraded my front fascia to 03-04 style, it's slightly higher than the 99-02 is, I have an ARB bar.

You have to trim a little off the bottom of the grill. When I sold my 03/04 arb to brett, it hit the bottom of the grill. Very minor though.

Also, the 03/04 arb's don't have any front recovery points.

Thanks, souljad9, appreciate it. Are we talking 1/4 inch or so? I was thinking of putting the gulf states grille in anyway, so I could do the trim. Did Brett put recovery points directly to the frame instead?

OK I see. Looks like you're taking off a bit underneath the fascia pieces with a saw. Thanks so much for the pictures. Did you put the 03-04 ARB on your truck?

Meant to ask if you have any pics of it installed.

Aren't big bumpers for mud trucks and tug boats? Is there any bumper that gets the approach angle over 45 degrees? It's too bad the Discovery has such a long front overhang.
