You can make anything fit if you know how to weld
Its a good thing I do
My only worry is that itll be to short vertically and look funny. The guy is gonna measure it for me here in a bit. and for $40... why not? lol

Make a template of the Ranger's bumper profile first, then transfer that to the pushbar. Torch or sawzall, grind or file as needed. (Had to do that to a pushbar I bought for my '79 F-150.)
May need to make some custom brackets or mounts, but it should be a relatively easy install.

my method of customization is usually a grinder!

A grinder will work if there's not a lot of material to remove. It will work anyway, but it just takes longer..........as you probably already know!
Its very similiar to RangerGirl19's push bar. I saw hers a long time ago and really liked it.

Just checked her truck pic out.....it does look good! Not sure yet if I'm going to buy or fab one for mine.
Ide though about making my own. But for 40 bucks and fabbed mounts, I dont think I could go wrong hardly.
He just texted me back. 21.5" tall and 28" wide. Seems kinda short. Im working now and cant measure the front of my truck. Anyone wanna go do that for me?
