Thanks all,


Some great Ideas, the more I look at the RDX one I'm, going off it Smile

I do like the idea of the normal one with a pair of round daylight lights, I may have ago Very Happy I prefer the round lights as all the land rover lights are round so rectangle I'm not sure about.

As much as my little lad would like I winch on the truck I don't need this for trips to work, and as for angles the standard type should be fine, we have a drop curb at the entrance to our drive Thumbs Up The only reason I want to change it is its got little rust stone chips along it now and I just fancy a change.


I also like the terrafirma one, less is more approach? but on the car pictured with the big wheels / cage / lift it may look better than on my std car?


Some great ideas and options thanks, keep them coming.

I do like the Bowler bumpers! I was going to get one before I decided on a winch bumper.

Have a look at TP4X4 aswell, they can be custom made so can omit the winch hole if needed. Similar to the RDX one but looks better IMO

If fitting a new bumper fit a solid one never mind these fancy ones with holes and DRLs in it needs to be useful not just to look at Thumbs Up
Just my opinion though


I'll second that. Thumbs Up

No I’m ok with the Mantec just wondered who made them
Some look like mantec but there are bigger ones as well.

Personally I do not like the winch bumpers which sticks out 'half a mile' as they impact on approach angle too much.

I prefer winch bumpers with the winch tucked away more.
