Discovery Home Made DIY Bumper Thread...Post Your Pics!

[mrwizard]

If you've made your own bumper for a Disco I or II, post up some pictures here. If you have any build pics, that's even better! If at all possible, pictures of mounting bracketry will be super helpful. Let's see 'em!

I really like the work station! It doesn't look like you're building it to house a winch, is that right? Or is the winch going to be tucked away behind it? I really like the simplicity. What are the rest of the plans? Wings? Hoops? Lights? Tow points? Thanks for the post up!

Those in progress shots are super helpful... But really, from the first shot I think I REALLY like where you're going. Completely opposite from ARB and expo style, while still retaining some of the essentials of an expo bumper. Looks like you are either all the way into rock crawling or use it as a cross-over rig. Either way, that bumper looks useful to expo and crawler rigs. Any more pics?

No winch tray, I started building because I was bored one day so I just went at it with no plans or anything. In hindsight I should have designed a winch but oh well haha. The only addition it will have will be recovery points directly inline with the frame rails
