Oh, the horror...
Good Deal^^^^
Well, seems there really isnt crap left out there for reasonably affordable, decent quality brush bars to mount my fog lights on... all I seem to find is the craptacular bull bars w/ "skid plate"... only good for blocking your front plate and enticing the local PD to make a "justfied stop".
The brush bars all seem to be 1 piece designs, so if ya biff one side, the whole thing is junk... and they too have their own craptacular faux-rubber bumper things that warp in the summer sun and contract in the winter...after a season, they fit like OJ's isotoner gloves.
Bill, I did look up your Warn Trans4mer you bought. For a discontinued item, they sure arent letting them go cheap...unless I come across something older, I might be SOL. I do have an older chrome one. There is a bit of surface rust on the chrome, the brackets are kinda cheesy, and I can hear the rust shake around inside. Not my 1st choice but I might pump oil in and pickle the interior, then shoot the exterior with some hammertough rattle can or something.
i hear on the availability of decent grill guards......i paid a king's randsom for my Warn and i couldn't even get the right receiver hitch.....and i scoured the interweb for that piece..... i have to chop up the piece for the '00-'06 trucks. it is what it is. ya only live once and i wanted it.
someone mentioned that JC Whitney HAD a decent "old style" grill guard for these trucks, i never checked but there's a bread crumb. LMC?
refurbishing old stuff is going to be the norm.
