$800. Notes about the bumper....

The skid is held to bumper with steel allen screws that are not possible to remove. You would have to weld a bolt to them or drill them out. The back of the front skid was lightly blasted with the rest -- and painted -- only because it could not be removed and I needed to get paint around the steel.

I do not know what the tabs are near the winch tray. My first did not have these. The large are for D rings, like the red ones on my 95 white disco.


Main part of bumper is boxed steel like Rockware describes their sliders. Additional steal to give the shape you see. Brush bar center is 2" tube, sides of brush bar are 1.5" tube. Skid frame is 1.5" tube and permanently(welded) to bumper. There is one bolt that broke on the skid mount to frame, I need to get that drilled out.

Email me if you want more pics or have shipping ideas bdickens(at)gmail. I don't know that I can invest hours into shipping it.

There are a couple pics on the solihull site.

tabs are probably for a tow bar. i sure would like rockware rear bumpers for the rear of my rovers. Rockware is the only company making custom bumpers for these trucks.

IMO, it is all priced well. The sliders are the highest percentage compared to new price, but the finish is also a more smooth than the bumpers.

I ran the same setup as these from 00-06 and used them heavily the entire time (not the ones I am selling).

The only damage I ever took was when I laid the rover on its side. :-(

I do believe this is the strongest stuff out there. The rear bumper design is perfect for coming off ledges/rocks. On my old setup due to some complications of how my rig was positioned, I winched off the main portion of the brush bar vs the D rings, it did not budge. I am not sure how safe it was if there was a failure, but it is a sign of how strong this gear is.

Rockware work is very strong.

Let know what you will pay and if you have any creative shipping ideas.

Hmm... probably not without lockers. But give me a day or two to check. If I do not have 4.1 already, it is a possibility. But I think I do (if it matters). I'll either post or pm you. Thanks!
