Charlie, I need to hijack your pic for a moment - I'm building my custom bumper as we speak. I will make custom holes for fog lamps and I am thinking of doing both the round holes and the elipses like you have. Any idea what fogs and lamps you have? Did they come with the ARB or did you get them? If you don't mind, any close-ups of the back side or anything you can send would be awesome. I also like the LED light bars.
Thanks!
Jamie

I was forced into buying a new front bumper for the D2 (facelift) after hitting the front gate post 
, the bare bumper cost an arm and leg new and the end caps are extra, I managed to pick a new end cap cheap and the other is OK but the end caps need to be spray painted in Vienna green which is heavily laquer finished. Used front bumpers sell for nearly as much as new ones as everyone needs one sooner or later
............. it's just a matter of time

I did consider a steel bumper in powder coat but although they are cheaper than the OEM's they will go rusty sooner or later and need repainting. I also like mine as a standard looking truck and have no use for offroad bumpers.

It sticks out further than the TF bumper.
I personally like the close fit of the TF bumper.
Have you considered this bumper: http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/DA5683

I think I like the brit part better. Terra firma leaves no room for error before you smash your grill in. And it's all about protecting the hood and grill. How much do the brit part bumpers weigh? I'm thinking of rolliing on rhino liner on the bumper.

I haven't weighed mine but it weighs like 75lbs I think.
