From memory it goes into the chassis leg. You undo it, undo the clips at each side on the inside and then push down in the centre of the bumper. It drops a bit with a clunk and then you can pull it forward and off.

Bumper is attached to the crush boxes fitted to the front of the chassis legs.
So ... i intent.putting a.ram bar on it . The style american police cats have.
Qe have to pish cats of a rave track sometimes which means using the range rover with a rammbat is a.lot less muscle work. Lpl.
Hence.me asking.
Looking for a strong chassy point not to damage my own by doing so.
The ramm bar should be easy attached or detachable.
Using thise bolts would be easy option.

Are you able to fabricate a slider over the tow eye ?
(as for pushing a car some used to moan if you attached a rope to them on rally stages)

For race days can you not rope a tyre,the bigger the better, to the front? Put an inner tube in and inflate it to tighten things up.
That would.push against the plastic bumper on the car.
And also can set the aidbags off.
The idea is having it strong enough about 15 cm in front if the bumper.
So iys not touching the car at all.
30 mm steel plates bolted to them bolts on the bumper - but I don't want to use them if the collapse on impact- . And a.scaffold steelbar across the front of the car.
So I could.push there's out the way without even scratching the plastic on my own bumper.

I think the idea is that the bumper and crush part absorbs the energy so the chassis and rest of tge car is less likely to be damaged. Bolt it onto the chassis direct and you take away that buffer.
BTW, the bolts holding the bumper on won't be up to much, although they are hard buggers
Yeah we been under it today and had a look.
It may work taking the buffers out and replace for custom made steel mounts. Holding the bumper same.way as the the buffer type but allowing to bolt a steel bar across and take it off as and when needed.
Which would save the bumper getting damaged.
