DLR1982 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 So I finally got around to sorting out my blower and it works very well. 2 speed (the fastest setting sounds like it's gonna lift off the ground - that's before I start driving and it takes about 10 miles for any hot whatsoever to start blowing anything close in resembles to heat, but that's not what I wanted to ask. I'd like some more light and found someone selling a bullbar with 2 PIAA lights on that is very nice, so I'm wondering if anyone knows the standard bumper size on a defender vs. a series III, the seller won't tell me the measurements. It's a basic bolt on thing but if its smaller than my series bumber I don't wanna put in the work.(bigger is not a problem I can just pad it out) Sorry for a drawn out thing but all input is appreciated.

Arjan Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The vertical chassis rails bolts (pair on either side) will fit both Defender and Series III. Some bumpers have a 3rd. horizontal bolt mount and that means either some extra drilling or welding, depending on type. What differs is the length of the part of the bumper outide the bolt - a defender is wider so the bumper is about and inch on either side wider than the Series. Possible not doesn't look right at times. Hope this makes sense. Have pics somewhere of Defender bumper on Series if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLR1982 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thank you and yeah a pic would be super cool if you have energy to dig it out. So say a defender bumper would fit ok on a series if you wanted it bad enough (and was willing to put in the time/world ld/drill) Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The "standard" bumper fits ok - the Defender one is just a bit too wide for the Series. This is a "Bush Bar" that was made for a Defender and was fitted to the Hybrid for a while. As you can see, it is slightly too wide. Below the Superwinch Husky Bumper. This one is more clear width wise. Some bumper will need modification as the bumper sits "too close" to the chassis but nothing a grinder can't solve. Let me know if you need more info / pics.

Snagger Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The position for the fixing bolts is different - on the Series vehicles, the bumper bolts are behind the front edge of the wings, on the Defender they're further forwards. A Defender bar will fit the Series bumper, you'll just have to drill the holes for the top bolts as well as those for the front bolts.

DLR1982 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Arjan, thanks for the visuals they're great. It should fit just fine then, I'm not to picky and 2 more headlights would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
