Default Brush Guard/Light Bar?

I've been trying to find a nice brush guard or light bar for my 1993 dodge dakota. I've had no luck. Anybody know where to get one?

Your best bet is to hit the local scrap yards and find one for your truck and make it work through modifying. They're just not out there for old Kotas anymore. I spent the better part of a month hunting for one with no success. I ended up picking one up at a yard that I'm gonna modify to work with my truck.

local junk yards easyest way is take a tape measure and measure the width of where you would bolt it then go to the yard and find one within those measurements. you shoul have minimal modifying. I got mine outta a body shops metal scrap bin so it was free cuz it hard bent in an accident. but not enough truely mess with its geommetry. I drilled 2 whole's and mounted it up. but I still have to go back and mount it more sturdily with a longer bracket.
