Will it work? Found a cheap winch compatible one that i want. Said it was off a range rover classic, its also a ARB one. Cheers.

I have tried it in the past and does not fit. The RRC is a lot squarer than the Disco although they don't look like it they are.

This is very noticeable when you put a RRC bull bar onto a Disco. Front center is fine but gets worse as you go towards the headlights and corners.

Not pretty looks from far it's not the right bull bar.

Buy it keep the lights and out it on eBay for $300.

$150 cheap for light force lights.

Bugger. I dont care much for the lights, im just after a nice bullbar. 1.1K for a xrox one is the next option :(

I have an old ARB one for a disco. Does not have a winch bit yet but strong enough for a winch.

I am about to put it on eBay

Same looking as the one you are looking at on gumtree but without the winch.

I am in Brisbane

Took the bar off my old 88 RRC and it bolted straight up on my 97 Disco. (The white D1 in the pic:D)

All I had to do was trim the plastic bits under the headlights.

Prob the same one i already have. Its ARB and is pretty solid, the winch mounts to the front not the bottom. Just on the look out for a bargain:

This is the bar when on my RRC. Don't remember the brand.

They can't be too far out as I have Disco I bar on my Rangie.

With a high mount winch I had to cut the grill... and the bar won't line up with lra flares..

Just remember about air bag compatibility, if applicable. I had an '85 RRC bar on our D1 (had to weld adaptor plates on it) & found out that my insurance would be null & void in an accident because the bar was not air bag friendly.
