@85_Ranger4x4

Found the brush guard/grill guard you've been looking for. It's attached to this truck.

Come to think of it, this thing might haul a Skamper pretty nicely.

Oh jeez who knows. I would like to know which conversion company made that. Would be a lot cooler with a 4 wheel drive conversion......... maybe a small lift

@PetroleumJunkie412 What is your definition of legit? 4 wheel spacers and 6 rims and 2 fenders from J.C.Whitney&co.

@Shran 4 wheel drive conversion is difficult - the rims were made for 185/75R14s. If they had made 15" rims, that might have been OK, for a 4x4, but 195/75R15 are hardly enough for a lift

@ericbphoto Decreases load carrying by an extra tire (and how far you trust the spacers). But probably improves stability...

I think they were a factory option, I had one on one of my B2s, I took it off because it was too wimpy. The guard itself was "okay", but, the mounting tabs to the factory bumper were just barely one step above sheet metal, I doubt it would stop a deer at 20 MPH.

Unfourtantly most factory stuff like that is just for looks. Not really function

It does look kind of cool. Cant get those parts anymore, Ive even tried looking on fleabay for a dually kit.

I'd trade them my 2021 for that +20k. Siiiiick.

Says it was a "Choo Choo Customs" build. I think they out of business but "Choo Choo" and "Southern" Customs were pretty common in my are of operations. They usually did Full size custom truck with a ground efx kit, a "two tone fade" paint job and Gawdy wood appliques all over the interior.

Just put "choo choo customs" or "southern customs" in the search bar, click on images. You'll see hundreds of photos like that.
