Dont be a sheep, Try things new and be the leader of the herd!

boss:
hahahaha i know what you mean bud. cut it up then you will have one of a kind! :D

Papa Smee:
Yeah.. already have one I'm chopping up...  :grin: :grin: :grin: , but this is for my everyday disco, so I need it to look OK..

If there was a gap between the rear of the motor and the bumper that's no problem - I'd just weld a plate on the top of the bumper to cover the hole..

Think I'm gonna have to do some measuring...  :-k

I've never removed a disco rear bumper... still, don't expect it's too much of a job.  8-[

Disco Matt:
Well, to be fair there are not many different designs you can make a tree slider to - it will always be a steel box section sill protector with a bar of some sort mounted on the side!  :lol:

Seriously, those of us who lack the skills to make our own bits have to use the various suppliers, so there will be a bit of identikit modding. I have just had a set of Guardian tree sliders fitted and I really couldn't make anything half as good. The Safari snorkel is another case in point - I bought mine before I was aware of the various DIY solutions and while expensive it has proven to be a very well thought out piece of kit.

Papa Smee:
I agree with you on that, it's just nice to be different, that's all.!

I went for an airtec snorkel rather than a Safari or DIY sonlution simply because it was going cheap (£90).  The construction is  very similar to the Safari and the build quality as good.  I just wasn't wiling to spend £200 on a snorkel.  I also hadn't seen many of them about.  Most people splash out on a Safari and the Airflow ones I've seen just look cheap - The Southdown was out of the question because I have an aux battery.

The winch bumper was also cheap at £150 considering it's a TJM (RRP about £400!!  :shocked: ), but I haven't mounted the winch to the front of the bumper (it looked a bit weak to be honest), built a tray from 10mm plate and 75/75 angle, then bolted and spot-welded it to the chassis. (that won't move now!!!  :grin: :grin: :grin: ).

So, you see, I'm not adversed to 'making' things fit to be a little different............  :lol:
