Has anyone ever dealt with this company? I was looking at their front winch bumper and it seems to incorporate the some features of the ARB bumpers with the clearance of a Rovertym style bumper. I have been looking around for different bumper options and so far I haven't found any that just jump out as "the one". Always finding features I like and don't like on them all. I guess when the time comes I'll have to sit down and figure out what features I can live without and which I can't.

I haven't delt with them but I know what you mean about finding the "right" bumper. I keep thinking I'll have to design one of my own to get exactly what I want.

I've heard good and bad about the ARB bumpers, but I've yet to find a more attractive piece of equipment to adorn the front of a Disco! Plus, I really like that it retains the factory fog-lamps, which I use as day-time running lamps, and that it is air-bag compliant. I see some custom-fabricated bumpers for less and, while they are appealing, I'll probably go with the ARB or TJM bumper.

Here's the TJM:

I had seen a ARB winch bumper on e-bay the other day with no reserve and the current bid was $350, it was used but it good condition.
This guy has a e-bay store that sells only Rover parts.

Mike, is she the one you headed up there to teach how to drive in the snow last week?

Since I am still in job hunt mode I am also in window shopping mode. It's going to be a while before I'm ready to buy a new bumper but that doesn't mean I won't use all my free time to look. I'm running out of little cheap projects to do. I'm also undecided whether I want a winch or not. I have only had a winch on one vehicle and it hardly ever got used. All my vehicles except my Saab (for obvious reasons) were used off road to some extent. The GMC with the winch was used off road and in deep snow all the time and I still hardly ever used it.
