Yeah, sorry, 30 min to install it on a DI.
Remove the front license plate holder, remove the 4 bolts that hold on the front bumper, have a friend hold the brush guard in place, bolt it back up, done.

Head light guards are in now--picture will be coming. Too little light by the time I get back. Next chance I get I will post. I spent a lot of time on the anvil bending them back to the proper shape. They look original again.

how to mount factory brush bar to Discovery 2?

Hi can you post your photos again? I have a factory brush bar ready to put on my Disco2 but I don't have factory mounting brackets, I think I'll have to make my own steel brackets.

Thanks!

You'll pull the bolts that hold the crush cans in place to the ends of the frame. This will mean your bumper will no longer be completely attached, so make sure it is well supported. Do one side at a time so you only need to support that side. The brackets slide up from underneath, then the original bolts go right back in.

I have a 96' disco 1 and a factory brush guard but no brackets t mount it. Where can I buy the brackets, and what else do I need to mount the brush guard?
