Default Push Bar, $55

Now the only thing is to try to mount it. The kid I bought it from had it on his 1990 Dak. 4x4 and I have a 1991 Dak 4x2. It bolted right up on his but on mine, its almost like the bumpers bulkier. How have other people done this?

But overall if it doesnt work, I can sell it for more than $55

I might only need to extend the part of the push bar that bolts to the frame to get it to work, but I cant decide between welding it or bolting it (the extension) on to the bar, welds will probably fail before bolts IMO

I just took some L shaped metal and made brackets, Ill post pictures tomorrow. Right now its bolted to the bumper through the carridge bolt holes (used grade 8 bolts). Eventually, when I have a weekend off work, Im going to make some custom brackets to bolt to the frame. Took 5 hours to do the L shaped brackets. Im new to the "custom fabrication world". Unless its little easy things like drilling holes, lol, so my dad walked me through it. but off to bed. gotta wake up at 630
