It's just like when people swear up and down the only brand of shocks you can put on a Disco are Terrafirma, OME or Bilstein.
There are many more brands when you search outside of the box...

Exactly my point... even though I have terrafirma on mine! haha and a steel rear disco heavy duty bumper from AB. but I see many of these really nice aggressive front aftermarket bumpers that are basically strait as any disco one by the same manufacturers and 30% less or more in some cases... I can weld and cut steel when necessary so I was just like hmmm maybe i could get into one of those nice bumpers without spending the price or another used running disco! lol same people would be paid so they wouldnt care either lol and im assuming many of us landy owners may have some skills one way or the other to accommodate this action!
