I was finally able to get some good digital pictures of my new rear bumper. Tell me what you think. I made it myself. http://community.webshots.com/photo/32044849/32046606JoVbIKfQVL http://community.webshots.com/photo/32044849/32046644gTlmxiIAFh http://community.webshots.com/photo/32044849/32046743GhPZpEDsBL This is right after the first test: http://community.webshots.com/photo/32044849/32046779ZWyFnCGFyE |

Hey Brett, I don't have a Range but I love the lines on that bumper! You did a great job! I wish I could make something like that for my Disco. Functional, Strong, Slim, Attractive, you really covered all the bases. Congrats. |

I'm glad you like the rear bumper JRoc, that was exactly what I was trying to accomplish with the project. I built with a 110 volt MIG welder, and all cutting/grinding was done with a 4 1/2 inch grinder. It was a LONG project, but I got it done. Ron, JB - I don't think I really know what you are implying with the chrome thing, but I can deffinately tell you that I *hate* chrome. My truck came with the stock chrome bumpers and although they were nice looking, they just didn't belong on a rover. The tires are WELL-worn 225/75 BFG MT. I bought them when I still had the air-suspension. I was afraid to go bigger at the time because if the Air stuff failed I would be driving home on bump-stops. Now that I have a RT 3" lift, I will be going to Goodyear MTR in either 235/85, 265/75, or 285/75 within the month. |
