Back to the Future build

I have an ‘89 pickup currently being restored to to look like the ‘85 in the movie, I’m just having trouble locating the front bumper. It’s a wrap around Smittybilt tube bumper/bull bar that is no longer made for Toyota’s. They do have a model for Jeeps, but I’m not sure it will work. Any ideas?

craigslist. fab shop. theyre still around, they go on here sometimes. not really much better than the flimsy OEM bumper. if you had one made you could use real tube and make it strong.

Thanks. I've tried almost every off road, 4X4 and fab shop in western Washington and most of the guys laugh at me when I ask them. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to modify the version that is still made for Jeep. Shouldn't be that difficult, but I guess it might be.

Dude. Sand, steel plate, tubing, borrow a bender and welder and make one yourself. It's thin walled crap anyhow.
