Defender 90 Rear Bumpers

[Snapper7]

I have a Defender 90 2.2 puma and the rear bumper is flat apart from the rear tow bar.... I remember the Army Land Rovers having small rear bumpers on on each side..

Do they still do them and if so are they after market? Where is the best place to get them and will they fit on the new version of a 90?

The last genuine LR ones I saw on ebay went for £45 look under "land rover bumperettes",the genuine military ones are the best if you can find them,the early ones are galvanized.

You can fit the military bumperettes to your 90. But make sure they are Defender specific as the older series ones were bigger.

Got them on my 90. Bolted straight on. Think they were about £35 in the 'bay.

As fitted to my old 90 rebuild with everything galvanized ,sold it as I was offered £10k cash which at the time I couldn't refuse,wish I'd kept her!

Yep ive got some on mine, priceless as they are used as a reversing alarm. Stop when you hear a crunch of the eurobox behind.

Also good as steps to reach the roof.

The rear bumper is actually part of the chassis on the Defender, the rear cross member in fact.

Lots of parts suppliers do bumperettes - may be worth getting a Land Rover magazine and look at some adverts - or do a Google search. I bought some off a friend who manufactures metal bits and they bolt directly into the 4 holes each side that the little 'grab-handles' were fitted into.
