Finally got around to installing the bumper I picked up from Greg (back in November) this past weekend and thought I'd share some photos. It was a little daunting to make that first cut on the quarter panel with the cut-off wheel, but it turned out great. Greg does a wonderful job on these things and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a new replacement bumper. -Steve     | ||

Do you have plans for a gas tank guard and do you have somrthing to protect the fuel line? | ||

Aw dude that is sweet. Of course now the only thing limiting your departure angle is your gas tank. Nevertheless, very, very sweet. I wonder if Mr. Davis does 109s!!?? Max T. I need a wee bit of armor sweet | ||

Prescottj, I intend to make a skid plate for the rear, but as far as the fuel lines are concerned, they're protected by a plate just like from the factory. Steve   | ||

Matt, Glad to see you got the job and look forward to seeing you up here again. We'll have to hook up with the RCH gang again and maybe hit Uwharrie a couple of times. I replaced my front cracked bumper with one from Rovertym  Steve   | ||

Max, Thanks man...I'm sure Greg could probably do something for you if you pleaded with him enough. You got those CROC fliers ready for Uwharrie yet? Steve | ||

Steve, glad the install went well, and thanks for the kind words. You rig is looking pretty sweet now. Max, maybe sometime this summer we can take a look at what you need. | ||

now that you've put on the 03 taillights, where are your reverse lights?? | ||
| Steve Sherman (Ssherman) Member Username: Ssherman Post Number: 57 Registered: 11-2002 |
Gil, Good observation. Currently I don't have any reverse lights hooked up, but I'm either going to integrate some into the rear bumper or tie in to my rear work lamp (maybe add a 2nd work lamp on the left side of the rack). Steve | ||

Matt, My rear quarter panel is still in a ripple. I haven't had any time to work on it, but it could use a little. The paint a a lighter shade where the panels where in a ditch. I think some GS27 can take care of that. I'll keep y'all updated on the damage repair. Steve, I got the flyer made up, but then the other day I was talking to a sales rep over at LR Charlotte, and he beat me to it!! Oh well, I'll still probably put one up at the 4 Wheel Parts America over on South BLVD. But I wonder, if I put it up there, if the flyer will attract non-Rover owners to the event (i.e. some idiot). What do y'all think? Greg, That would be nice. Really all I am looking for is a pair of rock sliders (no one makes them for 109s...), two gas tank skid plates, and maybe a Defender syle steering guard. I might go as far as rear quarter panel protection but I don't know... BTW, when I say Defender steering guard, I mean something like this: http://www.roversdownsouth.com/images/d-used/SteeringProtector.jpg Basically a tube mounted to the chassis. Simple, lightweight, and can do the job. Thanks y'all!!! Max T. | ||

Steve--your Disco looks great!!!I'm looking forward to the move. As far as the reverse lights, look into the one from PIAA. Either RN or maybe AB carries it for about $100 complete. I have one on my roofrack. It is great b/c it intergrates into you old reverse lights wiring and has a 3-way switch. You can set it so it will automatically go on when the Rover is put into reverse. They are good ad bright. I installed mine in 2 hrs and I'm a fumbeling idiot. Have you gotten to your roofrack lights? How did you do the wriring? | ||

I just put in a set of Blazer fog light bulbs into the rear stock back up light socket. The bulbs are 55 watts Vs. the 25 Watt stock bulb. It helped out a good deal. Total cost was 5.15 fron Advance Auto. |
