I have that bar on my truck... To be honest it can easily be fabricated with 1/4 steel plate, weld on tabs for the attachment to the bumper and some large tubing for the middle... The light guards are much smaller... All can be welded together, factory one is done with bolts.

I bought a set of these they did some custom work on my front and I bought a rear and tire carrier for the newer style I will have to fab my own brackets for the rear but front looks amazing. Super quality work very reasonable almost cheap price and made in AMERICA.
I had mine powdered at a local shop for several hundred more dollars but worth every penny. We'll see how it holds up to that 9500 lb winch but it seems pretty stout, all 3/16" plate.

And NO I did not need to put the bumper, lights or winch on at this point in the build, but I did

Here are some part numbers and pics of the factory options from the "1987 Ford Accessory Catalog" if that helps any:





Since I will never sneak up on one I intend to build the winch mount, Warn made a similar one called a "Transformer"

Factory Ford first gen winch mount

Anybody ever even seen one? Better yet do you have good pictures of one?

I have (2)gen 3 warn trans4mer grille guards, one has never been out of the box. I did have a 1-peice welded grille guard on my ‘88 years ago but I let it go with the truck when I traded it in. Check junkyards maybe?

BBorland,

You may consider extending your search to the 88-89's. I pulled a factory bull/brush bar combo from the yard from an 89 and installed it on my 87 Ranger. It wasn't a 100% perfect lineup but it was a SOLID 94.7%. End of the day, fully functional and received compliments; the price was right to $35 plus 1 can of primer, 2 cans of top coat.
