Default Looking for a aftermarket front and rear bumper, any ideas?
I sold the bumpers to the 02 disco and want some heavy duty replacements. I have only seen a few on Ebay and a set from Rovers North. Any other options out there? Kinda like a tube style set up. Thanks for any help.

Hard Labor Creek Fab (HLC Fab). Denny will make most anything you want, and you can see the bumpers he has made based on client requests for options. They are on Facebook with pics.

Echoing Spikes statement. ARB's front bumper looks so slick and adds tons of functionality to your D2!

I wouldn't say "adds" functionality. It adds a worse approach angle, and the mounting system is not efficient, thus it moves a bit when you winch.

Tactical rovers. Front & rear. Stronger and better clearance. Less flex than the arb front

Tube bumpers are hard to find and not very popular for Discos.
Are you planning on a winch, have you already installed a lift for the bumpers?
I agree with Tactical Rovers, might also look at RTE.

Default stuff
They all look good. Im really just looking for more front clearance if anything. I dont even think a winch will be necessary for the off roading I would do.

A winch isn't necessarily there for the off roading YOU do, it's for your friends and what THEY do. Recovery missions are great fun.

So, Me, do you have a lift, that will make a difference as far as approach angle goes? What is your budget on this project?
