Default Metal rear bumper

Hi, I know it's possible to make a custom rear metal bumper for a D2 however is there a website or shop where specific bumpers of this kind are made?
I'm asking as I recently took my disco bush and both front and rear plastic bumpers were beat up and I don't see the point in replacing them with another plastic bumper just to get beat up again..

Also. The rear hydraulic step was beat up.. I think it needs a new rubber coupling.. Is this an easy fix / where can I buy such a fitting?

You can go to a site like this, Welcome to RTE Welding & Fabrication! , which makes by far the best front and rear bumpers or you could try Justin at Lucky8 LLC. You will find most to be very expensive and may want to consider making your own like what many of us have done. Here are a couple of pictures of my front and rear.

Like mike said, Rovertym. Also terrafirma makes one, but I've not seen it. Go over to discoweb and search for Greg Davis (I think?). He was making a rear bumper too.

Thanks guys. They're definitely pretty pricey so I might just attempt to weld up my own.. That's a nice example Mike, cheers.
Thanks for reply jafir

I made my own own. Took forever, but you get exactly what you want and if it dents or breaks. You know you can weld in a new piece of steel if you care to repair it.
Here are my two links. Took me about 3 months working on it off and on.

I apologize for my poor video making skills.
