Icon5 Bought a bull bar :)

Well i bought a bull bar w/out brackets at a garage sale for $5. Now how do i go about finding brackets for this bull bar so i can mount it on my truck? The guy thought it came off a chevy. I will post some pics as soon as i get up tomorrow.

Contact the maufacturer(westin maybe?) if you know who makes it. I'm sure they could shoot you an installation kit for cheap.

I guess I'm gonna have to cut mine in half and find it a new home in a dumpster since no one wants it.

my bedliner is worthless... has 4 cut outs for my roll bar plates to attach to the bed, another 3 cut outs for the spare tire carrier, 4 more for the tie downs, all in all it has 11 cut outs. i doubt it really protects anything now.:(

not to rain on your parade....but i think that bull bar is going to take some work to get it to fit...if it was made for rangers it was made for gen I and II...but I hope im wrong cause its sweet looking...

Well i have plans of making it fit anyways. I am thinking about running steel brackets from where the tow hooks mount up to the bull bar and making it fit that way. It is going to take some ingunity to make it fit but i think me and my brother in-law can make it fit. Never fear torches and welders are our friends.
