Rear Bumper - Land Rovers Only

sodirty · 08-01-2006, 01:16 PM

im looking for a rear bumper and im so damned pissed that ECR stopped makgin that rear bumper. Not enough demand. It was only 500 bucks too. I liked the look of the Safari Gard rear bumper with the rear skid plate but they too do not make em anymore for the LWB. Any suggestions? The ARB sticks out too far, yuck. Lets talk bumpers. Front and rear. What do you want me to mount on this beautiful bitch?

That is VERY VERY nice....where did you find an ARB Rear Bumper for that?

sodirty · 08-01-2006, 01:26 PM

no no. i dont have one. but ive seen them, they look like shit and stick way too far out. I took off the front bumper so just the grill guard is on there. It looks mean... But damnit if I dont want more. Also, Ive got two KC loghts in the guard now.

im thinking about painting the wheels a glossy black. opinion?

01001010 · 08-01-2006, 01:38 PM

I think it looks great the way they are now! now if you want to black it out...get some steelies and tires the tires around the whites are in

I too was thinking off painting the wheels black clor, but I dunno whether gloss or a flat color would look better.

But you have the same exact wheels as mine (Cyclone wheels), and I haven't seen them painted black before on any rover, so I think it would look great.

You and I are on the same page as far as rear bumpers are concerned. After I posted about body damage to the truck awhile back, I wanted to trim the bottom 1/4 panels and extend from the stock bumper that wraps around the side and ends at the wheel arch. I think it would look awesome.

i havent had to dick with my driveshaft....amazingly. I expected to have to, with the OME MD's AND a 2" spacer... I left the shocks that were already on there. I do need shocks I guess. But theyre OME shocks, ya. BTW, go with medium duty. They flex better when you're wheeling.
