Find a ranger and measure the front mounting locations and compare. I'm sure it`d be relatively easy to make it work. And I know they have them for the newer rangers

So my buddy had The exact one on his 04 duramax that he got when he bought it. didnt like it so gave it to me. i had one on my truck so we put it on my buddies 92 dakota.

because it bolted to the inside of the frame rails on the duramax and it was just wide enough to bolt it to the outside of the dakota frame rails. After he blew the headgasket on the dakota we stripped it for parts and it went onto my buddies samurai
(with a little fab work)

If you find one you can make it work.

I was never a fan of those. Once they take an impact they do more damage to front of the truck then you would have without it.

It did decent When it was on the dakota he hit a tree going like 20 trying to drift on dirt roads.

It put a good sized dent in it, and bent it a little. But i was surprised how well it held up.

It did crack the grill a little though.

buddy of mines got one for a f150 (still hasn't installed it), that i bought at a flea market, and before i took it up to him, i mocked it up on my truck. If i'm remebering right it was just a little bit wide of the outside frame rails. If i would have took some plain ol steel, i could have drilled a couple holes, and it woulda fit.

This isnt for offroading tho, my 4runner has the badlands bumper on it, i really just want it for the looks...no luck yet tho, saw a guy driving down the road in a 93 or 94 model with one, and it looked awesome. I wasnt a westin. What other brands are there?

Nope never put one on a toyota, but the same one was on a duramax dakota and samurai.
And it was the westin bull bar.
dakota's are around the same size? and sami's are a little smaller eh?
