I was wondering if any of you had seen a 2003 with a a-frame bar installed. I think that they look different than before. If anyone has any pictures or vendor recommendations for an a-frame or a brush guard it would be appreciated. I need something on the front it is just hard to find anything, especially with pictures included.

I don't think that the frame horn design has changed on the 2003 Disco 2. You might check to see if part number STC50024 will work on your truck. That being said, I used to have an A-frame bar on my 2001 D2. http://www.discoweb.org/craigkobayashi/truckhaven01.jpg http://www.discoweb.org/cowmountain/cowmtn043.jpg   One_Bad_Metro (Koby) Senior Member Username: Koby Post Number: 394 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 06:31 pm:    I think this tiny Disco on the main page has an a-frame as well. This is the newer style.   Nate Jedinak (Ducati) New Member Username: Ducati Post Number: 13 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 10:17 am:    That RTE front bumper looks nice on the '03... Might just have to get one when I eventually smush mine.   Hill Mainor (Gahill2) New Member Username: Gahill2 Post Number: 18 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 10:48 am:    Thanks for everyone's help. I like the look of the bar in the picture. Do you really need the extensions from the full bar? I hope not, this looks really nice with the new headlights. Can you mount a winch plate to them later? One more thing, is there somewhere I can order this and put it on myself without going through my dealer? Thanks again, Hill   One_Bad_Metro (Koby) Senior Member Username: Koby Post Number: 399 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 06:46 pm:    the winch plate is a different item that mounts in the same location of all the LR brush guards, so you will need to remove any a-bar or brush guard in order to install the winch tray. You may want to look into this, though, because some previous Disco2 winch trays have had a small A-bar on them. There should be no reason you would not be able to install the A-bar yourself if you are proficient with some wrenches.
