Default New Rockstar Fabrication rear bumper

For christmas I got the first prototype "ultra ground clearance" rear bumper for my D2 from Rockstar Fabrication. Brad there is a great guy and wonderful to deal with. Here are some pics of the bumper! It is solid as a rock and it compliments my front Equipe bumper very nicely! I know some people don't like tube bumpers on Rovers, but i love it!!! Check it out.

Looks good, Brad does great work now if only I could get him to come up with some better choices for the RRC

Did you re-wire the signal lights that were located in the original rear bumper to somewhere else?

I like the RS rear bump on your unit.Looks good cosmetically and functional.I am driving to their place(Brad/RS Fab) next weekend and have them mount one of their front bumpers on my D1.(matching rear won't be far behind).Will post pics when I get back(My original front/wraparound injured by deer/elk on way back from Rally/Moab somewhere in Colorado).

IMHO...not Brad's finest. It looks almost too minimal. There doesn't seem to be much protection offered.

I think the protection could be a tad better, but not bad. I personally like the looks of the older one much better. you need a gas tank skid now.

They're cheap. And it is exactly the bumper I'm getting either at the end of summer or next winter.

I think that i answered my own question: Welcome to the official website for Rock Star Fabrications LLC looks great i really like yours, do you think it would look okay with a winch style front bumper, and is it possible to mount a winch to the tube style front bumper?

Me and drum both have a tube bumper that is why he got and I will get a rear tube bumper.

Yeah you can mount a winch to the front tube. here is the link to what me and drum have.

Well drum doesn't have a A-bar. Lucky 8 used to have the non-a-bar bumper but since the economy is in the dumps he must have taken them off his list. But he can probably order them

Lucky 8 Products
