Anyone out there find a way to mount a Go Rhino Charger 2 RC2 Bull Bar onto a gen 4, 1987 4x4 pickup?

I've given up tryig to find a tubular front bumper that has the same lines as my rear Smitty Bilt rear bumper. Not trying to build a crawler, just trying to do a restomod similar to the Back to the Future truck that had a tubular front bumper with brush/bull bar.
If you've done anything similar, would appreciate some hints.

 

Hey MarkHorn,

Not sure if you're still located in Sacramento, how much you're looking to spend, or how far you're willing to go to pick one up, but I see these Smittybilt bumpers come up on Facebook Marketplace not infrequently. I'm located in Oakland and usually search a 100 mile radius. They are often meant for our trucks but if you're willing to put in a little fab work and can weld, there are also really good deals on ones that would just need the mounts changed.

There's what looks to be a really nice front/rear set in Hercules CA up right now (he says he also has the roll bar if you're looking for that too): https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1135006774129502/?mibextid=dXMIcH
I also see a front bumper in Shingle Springs that comes with nerf bars: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1805896099880530/?mibextid=dXMIcH
Hope that helps,

Sam, I'd been cruising the junk yard postings, didn't think to look on FB marketplace. THANK YOU! These look like good options.

 

Glad to help.
I have also seen them on Craigslist from time to time but less often these days. Alternatively, I know that there are a few Toyota truck dismantlers in Rancho Cordova or thereabouts (can't remember any of the names off the top of my head). Perhaps you could contact some of them and check to see if they have any around.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting!

Sam
