I must say…They SEVERELY understate the complexity of the two hitch bolts…mine were somehow 18mm bolts and had been RED Loctite’d in at some point (I doubt that was factory)…it took an air driver like 3 tries and a 24” breaker bar to loosen mine. Not to mention removing the hitch completely…all I’m saying is don’t underestimate the process…but the result is totally worth the effort…the extra stability from the hitch bracket is awesome!

Thank you for showing the removal of front bumper from the start ,(some vids, the bumper is already off) at start, which is annoying or the sound is crap etc, Thank you again.

Just finished putting one of those rear bumpers on my 03 disco 2. Heres a couple of tips: 1. The long bolts holding the hitch receiver to the chassis have red thread locker on them. Heat them up with a torch for a couple of minutes first and they'll come out way easier. 2. I tried putting the bumper on the way they do it in the video but I had a lot of trouble. It was easier to remove the hitch receiver entirely, lift the bumper into place, bolt it on with the bolts behind the fog lights, and then raise the hitch receiver back into place and fasten it in.

question at timecode 4:25....the slotted bracket that the bumper ears slides into....what holds that on? can these brackets be removed WITHOUT having to remove the entire bumper?

Super film

Hello my dear, a pleasure to greet you and congratulate you on your valuable work. On the other hand, I would like to ask you if there is a cheap and complete scanner for Land Rover Discovery 2 V8 year 2000. thanks for your help and input

[@72Disco1998]

Great video!

[@johnwalters6641]

Does removing the crush cans make it a less safe vehicle, or are they simply for low impact absorption?

[@OWN03]

What is the price of front bumper that you use on video?

[@bigsky2111]

Are these the Terrafirma or Britpart bumpers?

[@sebibarberena]

+Kurt Ericsson I just got mine a few days ago and its a Britpart. but I'm pretty sure the Terrafirma ones are very similar.

[@brittoncummings7964]

I want to buy the rear bumper for my disco 1 Will it fit a 1998 disco 1

[@atlanticbritishrp]

we don't have a D1 steel bumper, sorry.

[@edwardthomas3695]

can you make a video how to get into the rear wiper motor

[@The-Bladeslinger]

what is weight of each of the bumpers?

[@grahamvirgil]

62 Lbs.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

why wasn't the bumper made so it stuck out about three inches further. Then you wouldn't have to cut the grill.

[@Bread996]

Because that lessens the approach angle, which is more important to an offraod vehicle. Although it hurts cutting up your truck the first time, it geats easier as the trail scars collect. Function over form :)

[@myrongaines5542]

It so that it makes it easier for the tow truck driver to hook up as u break down on the road

[@blackprince4074]

@@myrongaines5542 Nah! Land Rover's don't break down.

[@stevesmith8279]

Do you guys have these for the lr3?

[@atlanticbritishrp]

[@The-Bladeslinger]

[@midwestoverlanders565]

+THEBLADESLINGER It's a Superwinch LP8500 series.

[@bwilliamblock]

Can that bumper be used along with with factory brush guard?

[@raefordroadauto1]

+Brian W Block doubt it , but thats a good idea actually

[@randallhuntsinger821]
