Probably a no-brainer for you guys, but somebody please be kind enough to respond to my novice question. I just got a 95 Disco and HATE the air dam that they have on them. I wanted to remove it, but it look like the thing wraps around and up on the sides of the bumper. How do you remove that dam without losing the ends of your bumper? Do I need new bumper ends?

Thanks for the help - Jarrod

Step one, unbolt/screw the cener section you'll then be left with the end caps looking like fangs!
Step two with a dremel or easier straight tin snips, cut the end caps just below/at the line that goes slightly inwards just below where the metal bumper meets the end caps, clean up any rough edges with sandpaper or dremel.
Dun!

So basically, everytime I see somebody with a stock bumper and no air dam - they just unbolt everything and cut the ends, right?

Got it - thanks!

Yep. Or get lazy like I did and buy used cut end caps from someone who cut their bumper and then upgraded to a winch bar.

Jarrod:

1 Disco with air damn + 1 snow bank + fast forward motion = 1 disco w/out air damn.

At least it worked for me! :)
