Hi all. Recently acquired my first Defender. A 2003 110 truck/van body for work. Not happy with the front bumper so I’ve acquired a military version. Is this a straight bolt on swap, or is there some modification/fabrication to do ? Cheers

An inchtape and look at the two when theyre off the vehicle will make it obvious...but the answer is yes as the chassis are the same...unless youve bought a modified bumper thats not a military of course...

If you have not removed it yet I would buy a new set of (proper rated) bumper bolts and captives plates before you do as the chance of them coming off without damage/cutting is very slim.
