Can I fit a winch bumper to air bag equiped Disco?
Thrasher:
When I remodelled Missroadrages rear end my airbags didn't go off, and that was me accelerating into a stationary vehicle - pushed my bumper upwards etc.
Mine is a '97 ES : spec at http://www.pigletsplace.com
Back in 1998/99 I went to get it checked by the dealer when I fitted my first winch bumper and they confirmed that the winch bumper would *not* affect the air bag deployment (i.e. bring them in earlier or at lower speed)

Question is... does it prevent them going off cuz the sensors don't react...?
Thrasher:
There are no "sensors" at the bumper end .... not on mine. I have a little box of crystals under the cubby box ISTR, if a force travels down both chassis legs, the crystals are agitated and kerboom (there might be auxilliary "packs" in the sides - I can't remember- will read RAVE later. The other style has a BIG yellow wire running to the front of the engine bay ... not sure how that one works as it's not the system I have :-)

Hmmm... crystals that go KABOOM....?
Sounds like your carrying some gellignite!
Hope you have the necessary hazmat stickers and COSHH certification! :lol:
