You're pretty much outta luck in the UK, the factory winch bumper was not a popular option with buyers of new Rangie's 
doh: what a lack of foresight!), hence they're pretty rare. Dunno what happened to all the stock dealers must have had, but no-one seems to have any. There are a number of DIY solutions if you :googleit: but you'll need to fab it yourself, or have a handy mate.
I have drawings of the original kit and was gonna try and knock up some templates, but just haven't had the time. I reckon the factory one leaves room for improvement and it wouldn't be hard to redesign the parts to make it stronger, as well as include front recovery points and steering guard mounts.

The factory one looked quite nice though! I reckon whoever comes up with one will be on to a nice little earner...

- East midlands,
Anyone know where to source a winch bumper in the uk?
I did see a thread on here about the winch plate, did lead to anything?
Also read that the disco winch bumper can be easily adapted to fit?
Anyone done this that can say how its done?
Where are you located?

Hiya,
Yi, the airspring was an easy fix - I'm still annoyed that it broke though.
What meet is that then?

Thought you might have missed the chatter about it cause I hadn't seen you around recently. Have a look here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f37/landyzone-south-pub-meet-march-98244.html Would be good to meet you if you can make it.

Ah, that one. I wasn't going to but it sounds like it might be quite good.
So sleep in the Rangey or don't drink.... tricky one.
I'll have a think about it...
