The mounts on the bumper are about 3" wider than the frame rails, so how would you go about it?   Prescottj (Prescottj) Senior Member Username: Prescottj Post Number: 355 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2003 - 05:36 pm:    Hey how bout some pictures so we can figure out how and the hell we are going to get that baby on there   Blue (Bluegill) Senior Member Username: Bluegill Post Number: 1969 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2003 - 05:52 pm:    I'd do the same thing I'd do with wheels or engine parts or interior or exterior parts I picked up for my Disco, but were made for a jeep. I'd exchange the parts for actual parts made for a Land Rover Discovery.   Blue (Bluegill) Senior Member Username: Bluegill Post Number: 1970 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2003 - 05:53 pm:    You could also refer to this thread for advice: http://www.discoweb.org/cgi-bin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=2&post=109080#POST109080   RJ Clayton (Tozovr) Senior Member Username: Tozovr Post Number: 323 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Friday, February 28, 2003 - 05:56 pm:    Andrew, if it won't work, give me a yell, I may be able to find a buyer for it....what year model?

It came off a 2000 Wrangler which rolled in Moab, so one of the tubes is scuffed a bit, and exchanging it isn't an option. I'll get pictures as soon as I can, but for now, picture this [ [] [] ], with the close-together brackets being the frame rails and the outside brackets being the bumper mounts. I was thnking either hollow box spacers or maybe something solid to fill that 1.5" gap on either side.
