www.ebay.com has lots.

There is a local guy selling a new one on my CL. You can always see if they will ship. http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/pts/3124902943.html


Here is a copy and paste from the FAQ2.
Brush/Grill Guards, Push Bars, Light bars
________________________________________

www.Jcw.com has some light bars.
For a full size guard there is only one. www.ebay.com

A few others said cap-it.com has it and smittybilt.com, Westin.com but I checked I couldn't find anything Or custom make it. I custom made mine. You may also be able to get a 2nd gen and try it. I believe the frame widths are the
same.

One guy said he got it from this site. It doesn't have it listed but give them a call. http://www.armorrex.com/product/prod...eID=9&cateID=4

Go Industries site Knockdown Grille Brush Guards

Custom made is always an option. Here is my custom made push bar write-up. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2522004-post39.html

it's not a brush guard it's a deer guard
At least that is what we call them. Even Civics and Corollas have them.

The typical brush/Grill Guard bolt up to the front bumper brackets. That Toyota one bolts to from underneath. If you got some 1/4in angle iron you may be able to mount it to the bumper mounting bolts on the frame. Just have to place it where you want it and see how you can mount it. Also looks like it does have 1 (on each side) to mount for the bumper maybe you can remove that and place it where you need. Maybe make anther bracket like that so you can mount it to the 4 front bumper bolts.

Anything is possible if you take the time and figure it out. My push bar was from a 80's Ford truck. I cut it and rewelded it to fit the frame width and chopped of the sides to make it look how I wanted.
