Default Push bumper question

So I found a push bumper off a little Toyota do you guys think it'll fit on my 94 dakota? It's a chrome one that goes around the head lights

It might. Bring a tape measure and make sure the bumper is wide enough. It would look a little funny if it ended up being 6" skinnier than the truck. figuring out how to mount it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Right it might to to short but it might work. If possible you might have to eliminate the sides if it kinda wraps around the grill. Post up pictures if you get it done.

Well when I came back today it was gone so that is a bust. If any one knows any that wrap around the grill from other trucks that work let me know

I don't think there are any Bumpers like that still being made for our trucks. Watch Ebay or poke some dealerships who might have old stock. Alot of us have just ended up making our own Push bumpers/bully bars to our tastes.

Hmm, would a second gen bumper fit and look reasonable?

I have a second generation bull bar I'm looking to get rid of if you're interested. The brackets have been cut off of it, but it's in good condition otherwise. You would just need to fab some brackets.

I'm not a big fan on bull bumpers but thanks any ways! Are the trucks the same hight and width?
