It appears that the main bumper does not align with the bracket connecting to the frame. There's about a 8 mm space between the bracket and the bumper(on both sides) (on the bottom bolt, I placed 3 washers to show how much of a gap there is), And on the passenger side, the bumper sticks out farther than the drivers side. I can't push the passenger side in as the bumper hits the bracket. Anyone run into these kind of problems while installing a TJM bumper?   Wes (Wes) Member Username: Wes Post Number: 224 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Sunday, January 04, 2004 - 05:49 pm:    Anyone out there willing to crawl under your DI and measure the frame(width wise, across, the distance between the frames is what I want)? Outer edge to outer edge is what I would like to hear about. On my disco, I measure 31". thanks   Ho Chung (Thediscoho) Moderator Username: Thediscoho Post Number: 466 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Monday, January 05, 2004 - 01:01 am:    30.5" Ho Chung   Wes (Wes) Member Username: Wes Post Number: 226 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Monday, January 05, 2004 - 01:50 am:    Thanks Ho...   J A Cabrera (Jcabrera) Member Username: Jcabrera Post Number: 184 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 03:27 am:    Wes, I also have the same problem with the TJM on my 96 Disco. Never go around to correct it. Good Luck!   Wes (Wes) Member Username: Wes Post Number: 228 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 04:36 pm:    J A, What do you mean? I haven't had the chance to work with it yet since Sunday. Were you able to install the TJM properly? thanks   Jay Hobbs (Jayxd) Member Username: Jayxd Post Number: 184 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 08:55 pm:    It has been a while since I installed mine but I seem to remeber having to keep everything very loosly fit and utilizy patience and a mallet to help ease all the bolts in. It is frustrating but you have to keep in mind not everything on a LR is an exact fit.
