looking for an affordable Disco offroad bumper

[floydp680]

I have heard of a company in california that is making offroad bumpers but i cant find the name of the company. i would just like an affordable low profile front bumper for added clearance. i just dont want to spend the dough for an ARB and no has any TJM bumpers to sell. i have a 2000 disco II w/ 2 inch OME lift and 265/75/16 Maxxis mud tires. i have removed the front bumper for clearance but it looks bad and surely is not safe either.

jut trim the front bumper if you dont feel like spending a lot of money. dont remove it all togeather.

Or you can find a Fab shop in your area and have them build one up for you.

A simple yet strong design that will fit your budget.

What do you consider "affordable" that is sort of a subjective term. Plus there is a huge range on bumpers from $400-$1,200+. You can get a basic RTE blade bumper nothing fancy just the winch tray and recovery points. No light bar or anything for $675. That is what I put on mine.

You might want to try RTE, http://www.rovertym.com/, they build a great bumper. Expedition Exchange sells the TJM or as already mentioned, find a shop, design and build your own, many of us have.

By September, ChicagoDon from Dweb will be making "affordable" tubed front bumpers. His work is outstanding. I'll see if I can find a picture of his bumper on his DII...

EDIT: Found it!

Again I guess "affordable" is a subjective term.

You can get a RoverTym for much less than his "Affordable" Tube bumper.

But speaking of Tube Bumpers SamIam on Dweb was showing off his simple tube bumper. Here is a link to his old ebay listing (it's ended now) But I know he was planing on making more and might be flexible on the price since he is just starting and claims to have the support of Keith at Rover Tracks

Might be worth looking into if you like the style I would rather the tube be bigger but that just personal preference.

[disco12]

I like that. It fits very snug with the Truck.

Check out Equipe'4x4 too for a extremely well built tube type bumper. They are rock solid and beautifully finished.

Yup they sure are purdy but at almost 900 clams affordable is not the word that comes to mind.

760 for the non A bar one.

Check these bumpers out. I've got one on my Classic and have put it thru some serious abuse and have yet to bend or damage it. There is also about five others in our club that have them and have been very happy with them.

Cool... But did you have to have it shipped from the UK?? and how much $$ was it??

[Denny]

A friend of mine had a container shipped from UK full of these and other rover goodies so I can't tell you how much it will cost. And no, he doesn't have anymore or I'd hook you up with him. sorry
