Thanks for any help guys.   Ron Brown (Ron) Senior Member Username: Ron Post Number: 372 Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Monday, May 26, 2003 - 09:06 pm:    It looks like you would need disco II crush cans to make it work. alas I gave away the crush cans I had so I can find out for sure.

They are built to crush if in a front end impact. They do this to allow for proper timing of the airbag deployment.

But is the distance between the D1 and D2 frame rails the same? If they are, then Bill can break out his 1/2" power drill and make the magic happen. If not, well Bill will have to buy a D2 Paul '00 Pig   Barry (Barry) New Member Username: Barry Post Number: 14 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 07:48 pm:    Paul, If the DII Body is 4" wider than a D1, wouldn't the DII bumper stick out two inches either side if fitted to a D1? Hmmm, I thought the DII took on the wider axles from the Range Rover 4.0/4.6 which is why the DII is four inches wider than a D1. -Barry   Ron Brown (Ron) Senior Member Username: Ron Post Number: 379 Registered: 04-2001 Posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 09:06 pm:    Most of the width is in the frame. I held a DII bumper up to a DI and it looked cool and looked like it would fit ok.   Paul D.

Barry you are right and that goes back to the old debate of : If you own a D1, buy D1 stuff and if you own a D2, well then buy D2 stuff.   One_Bad_Metro (Koby) Senior Member Username: Koby Post Number: 370 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 29, 2003 - 12:02 pm:    Paul, does that debate even have a point of contention? Seems to me that you're just dispensing sound advice.
