Where to buy bull bar for 1992 Ranger?

[motorapido]

I'd like to add a bull bar to my 1992 Ranger. I moved deep into the woods and the roads are littered with deer carcasses, and I'd like to protect my excellent-condition Ranger's front end. I can't seem to find a bull bar designed to fit my Ranger, and I'm new to this and not sure if there are universal-fit bull bars that I could buy and have a local welder fabricate some brackets to install it. I can't find used bull bars for my year Ranger either. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

A lot of those options have disappeared over the years. They can still be found once in awhile on CL or ebay.

They sell a bunch of bull bars these days but most are really for looks and don't offer much in the way of protection.

I bought a set of bumpers from Affordable Off-road. They do some really nice work and they would offer fae more protection then a simple bull bar.

@85_Ranger4x4 has one on his '85. He might be able to help you find one that'll fit your '92.

I made mine when I was in high school actually.

Currently working on another one for mine lol.

Mounting is different between our trucks, especially for my new one.

I actually have something for a '89-92 at home I don't need but it'd be awkward to ship across the country...

Make a bumper out of 5x5 x 3/16 structural steel tubing and use make sure your cross bar goes above the hood line, while going a little bit further then your front fenders. If you can add a forward rake to it you might get lucky and have whatever you hit slide under you instead of over and onto the windshield.

I tried those deer whistles that you put on the front of your vehicle that supposedly let's them know you are coming and scare them. I think they are probably as effective as magnetic fuel alignment gizmos to increase your MPG. Because when it was not hunting season, I had deer run along side my truck (Aerostar) on my property while keeping pace. They did not seem scared or warned. Then leaving the property once I had a few deer run right in front of me on the interstate highway. My B2 with the 6x2 steel bumper would have survived, the Aerostar not.
