1st gen Bull Bars?

I cnat seem to find any Bull bars or front winch bumpers to fit on my 82 pickup. If anybody knows where i could get one, or if one for an 85 could be modified to fit? then please tell me.

All help is appreciated.

The drive is worth it to Jeff's to get his gear.
Many from the PNW have his stuff.

I have more pics here if you want to see some more of his work.

Since you are quite North of him, it's best to contact him if you are interested in getting one made up first and have it put on when you arrive.
That way you don't make two trips.

It can also be Rynolined, powder coated like my sliderz, or rattle canned.

How well does the powder coating hold up? or would it be better to have it rhinoed?

My powder coating has been on since Oct. of '02, and still looks good.
Granted I have not slithered over any rocks with them, but from stepping on them, and being outside 24/7, they look pretty good.

If you are going to slide over stuff with them, then the powder coat will come off the bottom, but you can touch that up by hand or rattle can it.
