Expert Reply:

The closest option we have to the 3-1/2" x 2" bolt pattern you mentioned that your 1989 Land Rover Defender bumper has is the Curt # 13018 which has a mounting hole pattern that measures 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" as shown in the included diagram.

The only option to get a trailer hitch receiver to fit your bumper would be to have a receiver like the # 325-GH-002 welded to a plate that is custom made and drilled to fit your mounting plate.

A local fabrication shop could knock this out pretty easily.

I included a video of the # 325-GH-002 for you to take a look at.
