Im not going to waste my breath and start an argument over something that doesn't need to be argued over. NCguy and FishEh are missing the point. There is a member willing to donate his services and help save people money. as well as give them a chance to have a custom bumper. There's not a lot of tech that goes into building one. Its not rocket science. I've been off-roading for about 18 years now. not in just land rovers, but chevys toyotas and even a jeep. A lot of fab work has come from a guy in his garage. so back to the point. build away friend I'm getting info together for you to build me a bumper.

thats my 2 cents...

 

I wasn't trying to start an argument or insult you or Robert. I just don't think your representation of Rover bumper companies is accurate. And while making a bumper isn't rocket science, it takes a fair amount of work to make one that is built well and looks good. Doing that for under $500 is a very tall order in my opinion.

I wish everybody involved good luck!!!

 

Hey guys!!!! i am not trying to start a monopoly on bumper building for land rovers and i understand that a 1200 dollar bumper has a spot for a winch and tow points. Thats why i put a receiver in. i have a winch mounted on a receiver. If you want tow points i will fill the bumper with tow points and you can pull from anywhere. you want a bumper with TWO winches on it i can build it. rock sliders no problem rear bumper lets do it. you want an exo roll cage all i need is your truck for a week.

Again i am doing this because i enjoy it. drink a few beers and build a bumper that will explode a deer, kangaroo, or zombie. thats a good time to me. its the same as anything, to transmission guy rebuilding a transmission takes a day and its easy. I try to do it and the truck wont move and i wasted a week. I know metal fab. i can build a pretty sweet bumper to almost anything you want and it only takes a few evenings after work.

Send me drawings or a picture and i can start building for anything, land rover , jeep, chevy or whatever

 

How much a bumper with 12 recovery points on it?

 

How about we just weld a crane clevis on the front then you can a 500 pound hook on the front

 

cool, but only if you can stick this badge on it

 

have you played around with any other armor? diff guards? steering guards?
I have done a couple of diff guards, they look like s***.

 

rock sliders how much $, I might take a chance on you.

 

gonna depend on what you want. do you want something that is tight fitting like a tactical rover slider or one that is a little more square and comes out past the door some. rough guess i would say between 150-250 bucks plus shipping. just send me a pic of what you have in mind

 

and to dusty1. is it for a d1 or d2. If its for a d1 i can fab up something not bad looking and stout using my truck for mock up.
