TerraFirma TF009 any one using it?
I've been contemplating trading another DII owner I know for my ARB bar. It has a much better approach angle than my ARB, protects the washer bottle, but offers no brush protection. Looks nice though.

I just can't find any reviews on it. I should probably give Justin a call at lucky8. I really like the ARB but don't like the price. If you lived near me I'd buy the TF009 and trade you for your ARB if it was the one for the 03-04.
I have a TerraFirma on my 110, here is a little review I wrote up on it on d-90.com I know it's not a D2 bumper but same idea and the construction should be the same. I bought mine from Justin and Lucky8, the customer service and price couldn't be beat. I highly recommend shopping with Justin.
Here are my impressions on the TerraFirma pro-blade taper winch bumper.
It's made up of 3/16" steel, all the winch mount areas are fully welded on all seams. It has a additional bracing located near the bolt mounts for the winch. The winch mount area also has a rolled lip that comes down underneath that the bracing is welded into. It has a couple of recovery points that are 5/16 thick welded in. It boxes in the frame horns nicely and uses 3 bolts per side to mount up. It has a very large winch mount area at 28" wide, so it should fit about anything you want to toss in there. The powder coat looks nice but isn't the most durable I've seen. It looks nice on the truck only thing I would like is to see it mounted about 1" or so closer to the body. This one is a AC bumper which might account for the extra distance. It's no RTE or Equipe bumper but with a price point of less than $500 you can't fault it.
Overall it's a nice looking bumper that is well put together at a great price. Pics attached

I'd be happy to assist you in getting a set of free knives. I see you live up in the north shore of Chicago. Are you a member of the Chicago land rover club? I was thinking of joining this year.
I was in the past but the meeting times and places never really worked out for me to really participate.
I work up on the North Shore, I actually live in the burbs, when the Army sent me here I didn't know where I was going to live so I just put the office down lol.. Plus I spend so much of my time there I might as well live there...
