Protip: Use a tow strap and drag them from your hitch. Using a winch to drag other vehicles toward yourself is a surefire way to wind up with a crooked ARB. Ask me how I know...
What kind of Jeeps? I own a 2003 Land Rover Discovery modified with a center, front, rear lockers. 2006 LR3 with HD (center and rear lockers) and a 2012 Jeep Rubicon (front, center, rear lockers and swaybar disconnects) All of them are extremely capable. Yes I have done MOAB, Canyonlands, Colorado etc. so I have experience. I hope that your not bashing Jeeps with your statement as both brands make capable 4x4 vehicles.
How long have you been on Land Rover forums???

Jeeps are capable vehicles. However my personal discrimination for them is so deeply rooted within me, I can never change my ways.
Stupid jeeps.
Feel free to judge me since this is the internet and it doesn't really matter.
Zack, please provide information on the D2 ARB bumpers. I thought it was the D2 bumper that had the crush can option...but you are saying it was the D1?
Like I said, please provide valid information since obviously I can't.

D2s do have the crush cans, but that's the only version of the bumper there is. 3432060 for 99-02, 3432120 for 03-04 (and also the Sahara setup, 3932020)
Discovery 1 had the option for with airbag/SRS - 3432050 or without SRS/airbag - 3432080
I believe it was due to the D1s having a sensor in the front, whereas the D2 has an inertia switch for the airbags.

well, it does have crush cans. took another look today. but, i can fix that with some 1/4" plate and my welder.
I'd love to take the time to build a bumper, but I'm to damn busy with work. And I make a lot more money working then I would wasting time building a bumper. If I built one, it would probably come out to $800 anyway. So, I can spend a few hours buying and installing something I like the look of, or spend 100+ hours trying to build one. a 100+ hours on OT is worth a lot more to me.:ylsmoke:
