Yesterday someone backed into my truck and the 20 year old plastic shattered. Unfortunately they didn't leave their contact info so I'm stuck figuring out a solution. It looks like a new replacement is over 1k on ebay and the salvage yard doesn't have any DII's. Does anyone have a favorite aftermarket replacement? Truck is currently stock so I'm not looking for any crazy bull bar type bumpers. Also, if anyone is trying to offload an aftermarket bumper or a stock one for a 99-02 let me know.
They go mild to wild. High end is ARB or the other company that has traded owners a bit and had some stupid failbook battles.
I’m pretty sure I’ll be going with a Goliath for the front. There are some super duper cheap flea bay specials too that are cheap for a reason. If you are not planning on hard core use and a winch, I’d middle of the road like Goliath should suffice.
I will second the Goliath Offroad bumper. I have a cheap knock-off of their bumper but would have purchased that one if I didn't buy this Disco with the current bumper already installed. They make nice accessories. I just received their Discovery 2 rock sliders and will be installing them once i gather enough courage to drill all those holes through door sill plate(s) to bolt the metal bar that goes behind on.
Ther are lots out there just depends on how much you want to pay, I got mine from a UK company called" Insideout4x4", as an ex fab welder the build quality was vey good and fitting was very easy just needed to remove the radiator grill and modify it and mine will take a winch if I wont to fit one at a later stage
If the plan is to off-road routinely I'd skip over the ARB. approach angle is awful and you look at them crooked and they bend out of shape or get unaligned in my experience. If just for looks then they are one of the better looking bumpers out there. I gladly traded my ARB for an old safari guard or RTE (I honestly don't remember or care as the approach angle and build quality is infinitely better).
My Disco will likely never see offroad usage - been there years ago destroying CJ7's - but will see a lot of snow usage, so for me a bumper upgrade is more of a cosmetic thing rather than functional.

My front bumper gets a lot of abuse so I need it to be strong, but I would certainly consider that rear bumper for the price.
