PEASEY Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I bought a mint range rover bull bar as i couldnt turn down a bargain,its a full wrap around one and it doesnt have one single blemish even where it bolts to the chassie.Anyway my question is will it fit on a 94 300TDI?It did come off a range rover classic a 87 I think,are there any mods i need to make to the bumper or bull bar?Fingers crossed.

Pete Attryde Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 check out the show me your winchbumper thread theres a range rover fitted to a disco winchbumper If your refering to the bumper I think you are then it's a Rangerover bumper on a Discovery. . However I suspect that a full wrap around Rangerover bumper might be a bit snug at the wings. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRDISCOVERY Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi I think it will go on OK but you might have to make a couple of cuts in the lower spoiler best way is to remove the lower section and cut down so when you refit the bolts hold it in place where its been cut. I have done this and it fits fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEASEY Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Right have been out this morning for a measure up and it appears to fit width ways on both the wings and the brackets but the bow in the 300TDI bumper makes it slope out at the top about 30 degrees(not a good look)so it looks like im going to have to get some brackets or something made up unless anyone has any other ideas.The plastic spoiler has already been trimmed and is off at the moment so i could see that it wasnt that.

PEASEY Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 6cyltdi thats exactly what i have and im trying to do,by studying your picture i have seen that you have slotted the bumper to allow it to sit further back,a mate of mine is a welder/fabricator so hes going to do it for me,how far does that sit forward from the grill?Does it sit against the light washers?Looks even better than i thought it would as i havent seen mine in the on postion yet,looks awesome mate thanks for the picture.

You won't need any fabrication, I the used existing bolts... Just cut slots in the bumper and with some brute force got it in, it sits upright and does not hit the light washers, I will measure distance forward for you... I took the centre plastic off then done a quick measure and cut the ends off of it, I also had to nibble the corner plastics along the side top corner and the bar sits in very neat..... Nobody's noticed any of my butchery unless I point it out to them... TBH I never really measured much as usual and got stuck in with the grinder.... All worked out well though....

PEASEY Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 I would just like to say thank you to all that replied to my question,my bull bar is now on and looks fantastic i will post up a picture when i have more time .All we did was cut some slots in the original bumper and used the original bolt holes and it fits perfectly and it looks like it came out of the factory like it.There is plenty of room between the wings for a little movement if it did hit anything but i dont think its going to move as it feels rock solid as its also welded to where the slots were cut.
