I now have RockStar Fab protection all the way around on the Disco(Front and rear bumps and sliders as well).They are well engineered,incredibly mounted to vehicle,and looks great to boot!I would like to thank that deer in Colorado that attacked me last year and ruined the OE bump/brushguard.Ready for Rally now.Will take a few pics tonight and posts.Thanks to Brad at RockStar.

Brad does do some excellent work, not a fan of his styling but that is in the eye of the beholder.

thats tight!, a nice tubular design. that half rack looks good as well, i've never seen a half with that build. clean and not bulky looking. where did you get that? or is it custom as well.

Tubes. Meh.

The half rack and light bar came from a guy in Texas(Moses-MoFab).I liked the fact that it followed line of the truck.He was a good guy and did nice work as well.Don't think he is operational(at least under the MoFab name).Somebody with Texas Rovers might know what he's doing.The RockStar stuff is like name "rock solid". The body will come off the frame before any of those parts do.I know the traditional LandRover crowd is not big on the tube design on some pieces but I like the combination look/functionality.I intend to be more aware of deer this year on way home.

I'm one of the not a fan of tubes camp, but he does do really great work

i'm usually not either but his truck looks really good in my opinion. of course i'm not a fan of big bulky steel rectangles hanging off the front either.

not a fan of tube bumpers myself, but they look top notch regardless!

Looks like shit.

Love the Jerry Can on the ladder, though. That's awesome. I always wanted a Jerry Can on my ladder.

Side bars look OK, could live with the rear bar, but the front bar is just too ugly. Also the winch being mounted so high can cause issues. So front bar is badly designed and ugly.

Thanks for feedback(sounds like you were just on DWEB). I use the can about as much as the ladder.

On a side note you've got yourself a very clean D1 for being 12 years old...

I think his stuff looks good for tube and they give good clearance, but you gotta do something about those Mickey Mouse ears on top. Can they be inverted without interfering with the winch?

Yeah,they were inverted before I mounted winch.Now they don't fit.I am on fence with(look) of those as well(they work well there though).I am either going to take them off or get smaller ones.I had just spent 2 hrs running wire through the bumper and was like WTF.Always something.
