Looks like i will end up doing that
Main items good strong bed for winch and recovery points .
Want to use those swivel joints . Cant remember the name of them . The ones that go through a hole and held inplace with circlip to put shackels on .
Dont like some bumpers that have thick lugs welded on to front of bumper .

I've got a laser cutter and all the kit and was going to make a steel bumper. They do look far better than the original plastic. But.... my D2's an old vehicle, useless off road and I'd rather have a Defender. So the project is on hold

That bullbar won't help with that, you want an arb. LR original bullbar a aren't the strongest metal but they do well for protecting against light stuff like small branches and light theifs
