Look for RRC and DII bumpers soon!

those skidplates are tasty lookin!

larry, whos orange DII in the bumper pictures?

 It's mine.

Larry, I have Land Rover envy!

My dream rig is a modded orange DII with a diesel. I really want to meet you (er, your truck) now so I can drool and dream. your Disco is most excellent!

p.s. so as not to hijack this thread, your bumper looks most excellent as well. nice fabrication.

It basically replaces the existing strap.  There is little room for anything under it as it's supporting the weight of the tank.  I've had mine on my truck for about 1 1/2 years and have yet to have a problem.

We loved the Orange as well which is why we originally bought it from a possibly shady dealer.  Fortunately I knew what I was getting into and haven't regretted it yet.  The truck looks much more at home in Moab, UT than the very green PNW, but I think we'll manage.

I had also seriously considered transplanting a TD5 in mine a few years back.  In the end it wasn't worth it at all for all the money and hassle.  I figured it would run roughly $10K for me to do all the work, and require the truck to be down for several months.  Now with fuel prices the way they are it's out of the question.  I am however going to keep an eye out for a good 4.6 for it.  The 4.0 just isn't cutting it anymore.

I agree with you Larry, the 4.0 in my D1 feels a bit weak on the highway.  I don't feel like I am lacking power, but I sure feel like I could have more!

Ok, hijack done!

Right now the prototype follows the stock quarter panel trim, however I'm finding I hit it a lot more than I'd like.  After asking a few folks what they'd prefer and knowing what I'd prefer I plan to trim the quarter panel just a bit, just not as much as the Greg Davis bumper.  I don't have a gnome handy or I'd take some measurements.  If you can wrangle one up and drop it off at Columbia Rovers it would be much appreciated, be sure to put a bow on it's head.

Regarding the tire carrier, there is some thought about that as well with my initial design.  I have given a great deal of thought to a tire carrier for both the Rangie bumper and the DII bumper as I think they are both needed.  To date, I have yet to see a mass produced tire carrier for either truck that I think looks good and follows the lines of the truck.  In planning for the production version of both bumpers I'm hoping to allow to the eventual addition of a tire carrier, but that won't be for some time.
