I am looking for ideas about front Winch bumpers for my 2006 LR3/D3. I know that I am not wanting a ARB, had one of those on my 2003 D2 (Big Red) and although a great bumper it stuck a wee bit too far.
I am talking with a company in the UK regarding a bumper that they are just starting to make and would like to know what you guys think? I actually really like it and think there is a market for it over here in the US. I have talked to them and have paid for one to be shipped. This is a new product line for them in the LR3/4.
Now here is my DISCLAIMER: I am not part of this company nor do I have any affiliations with it either in whole or part nor am I reperesentative of any distributors for this company. I know that they will be looking for a distrubutor for them over here in the US

G Reeves- Really like the look of this bumper. Is this the correct website (www.tp4x4.com)? How much was it w/ shipping to the US?
Thanks in advance!

As this will be the first one in the US and I have been talking to them I got the shipping at a discounted price. They are just getting in the LR3/LR4 market and the one that I will be getting is a test for them to see if there is a market for these in the US. They are also developing other products as well which will come on line soon.

I would imagine all winch bumpers alter/restrict airflow to a certain degree. The front grill still looks reasonably open. A winch would be mounted lower than the grill so 'some' air should still get in.

So the total is around $1500 before any import duties are applied - not a cheap option.

Does the LR3's air suspension adapt to the increased weight of aftermarket front bumper? On a vehicle with more normal suspension, I would expect to have to install stiffer springs to prevent sagging in the front.
