I have a 97 Dakota and want to get a grill guard for it. My problem is that the bottom half of my front bumper is plastic not metal so I obviously can't mount to it. I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a full metal front bumper. I looked around but all I can find is the small half sized one. I also just hate the look of the plastic. Even just a metal replacement for the plastic thing would be good.

 

You can buy a Bull Bar for it that (sorta) mounts to the frame, but it's really just for looks. Unfortunately, there aren't too many different bumpers available for our trucks, and they're pretty much all winch bumpers.

Here's what the Bull Bar looks like.

I built a brush guard for my truck and set it up so it shared the mounting points for the bumper to the frame
