Thread: Steel rear bumper fitting

I put a couple of washers on the outer mounts which fixed the situation a bit.

I found when using the towbar mount with the washers there that it moved the bar out and down a little.
Mine still is at an angle to the garnishes but has not knocked them off.

BTW, It shouldn't move if the bolts are tight enough.

I too have found that the corner finisher plastic pieces pop off if the bar is knocked on the ground. At the end of the day it's not really that heavy duty a bar perhaps more so on the ends due to it's more central mounting? I think I sikaflexed the last one back on to give it extra hold and it hasn't popped off since.

Regarding mounting it with the towbar setup. I ground the two spacers off the factory tow bar as they're about the same thickness as the tongue of the rear bar that now goes there. I found this lined it up best.

I also have a Hayman Reece tow bar that I tried to fit with it but could not make work. Seems it's only compatible with the Land Rover units.

I drilled and pushed a self tapping screw through my finishers. That rear bumper is the best.

I love that bar, they are good replacement
I put many different hitches and don’t have any issues

i managed to fit mine so I had the max spacing to avoid the bumper touching the corner bits.

but yes, they flex a little on the outer edge as all the mounts a more central.

does any body know of I fitting that fits the tube insert that might fit a high lift jack?

Yes, those holes are made for a high lift jack. There is an adapter that you purchase to use on the jack.
