Default bumpers

ok, im about to come across a small amount of money that i am able to spend on my baby. i am in need of a rear bumper. suggestions?

info: 2000 disco II
the plastic stock ones lasted about 6 seconds with me driving trails out here (WA). i NEED steel or at least alum. price is an issue. departure angles are secondary. i do need the goofy little marker lights though. (wife says that the way i drive the world needs my turn signals - i dont know what she is talking about...)

please provide links.
thanks guys and gals!

Rovertym has a rear bumper. Pretty spendy though.

X2 on the RTE bumper. It's a little pricey, but you'll never need another bumper. You can re-wire the pillar lights to also blink if you went with a Greg Davis type bumper.

Another optionb would be to make one, ther rear of a D2 is easy to work with.
Save money and make your own.
Send me your e-mail and I'll be glad to send you pictures of mine.

I really like the rovertym bumpers, have a front one, wanting a rear one. They are on
the pricey side, but quality stuff. Like discomike said the rear would be the easiest one
to try and make yourself.

I just had a friend buy one 2 weeks ago and they are a long ways from cleaning up their bumpers for retail sales, great ideas just need some refinement and a lot cleaner finish work.
