Heavy duty rear bumper recommendations
I'm looking for a very solid, steel rear bumber for my 2003 Discovery 2. It needs to be connected to the frame of the vehicle in order to support a lot of weight. It should also be very plain. I plan to use it as the foundation for a design that will carry four jerry cans. I will have a shop install two pivot points and swing out arms, each side supporting two cans. My vehicle is set up as an overlander and I want to increase range but don't want to add weight high on the roof. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Definitely look into a custom made unit. 4 full Gerry cans will be a lot of weigh hanging out back there.
i made a custom rear winch bumper but no swing outs. If I was going to do swing outs it would have been twice as heavy to be strong enough to last. Especially over rough terrain.
Another option would be a swing out system mounted to your hitch receiver. I have seen some for the gen5 4runners that seem decent. Might be a good alternative.

Dark Crow Designs is a great option. HD, with solid frame support. And he will custom with you if you talk with him.
I like RTE design wise, but aside being expensive, he’s backed up. So unless you have some time on top of the long expectation delivery date - then dCD is a good second option.

Depending on how much or hard you wheel that is not an option. The rear of mine take a beating as it already is a big overhang, this extends the lowest point of the vehicle by 3-6"? That will cause major issues. Now for just normal forest road riding sure but that will get thrashed in the rocks.
