Looks great, but if I am not mistaking, you have the original suspension that is paying the price for all that weight, have you considered a lift to get more approach angle?

His lift is on the way. He caught the MOD bug.

The bumper looks legit! Great price too.

Is that bumper airbag compatible? Will the airbag still deploy as designed or will it require much more force now to deploy? Just curious.

Airbag sensors are not like the old D1 RRC style, they will still go off in the event of a crash.

Looks good. I am sure when painted and D rings installed it will be like it was always meant to be. Definitely can't beat the price. I always like/prefer to be able to use local shops.

The D1 airbag sensors deploy based on g-forces of an impact. Without crush cans airbags will deploy microseconds sooner than with crush cans, since the deceleration is more rapid. In a real world crash you wouldn't see any difference since there are so many other variables that come in to play.

Maybe I'm thinking of RRCs that have the sensors in/near the front frame horns?

Nicely done, and you should not get crap from people about your Disco anymore. It really does look nice, and will look much better after paint.
