Keep searching. I looked at a ton of pics because there was a very specific one I wanted and kept seeing on trucks but couldn't find for sale anywhere! Turns out, it was discontinued by Luverne but I found one locally!!! Try searching actual guard brands and then add "2000 Dodge Ram" or similar. Scour forums, and google, yahoo and bing images. There are a few pics out there.

What do you desire?

Here's mine. Might not look like much, but I did hit decent sized deer back in October, doing about 60-65mph, and it did absolutely nothing to the guard or the front of the truck. Only gave $100 for it and it prevented probably a few thousand in repairs. I have no clue on the brand, but I have seen numerous other Rams with this guard in my area. I think it originally came from JC Whitney, but I'm not positive.

*Edit* After a little research, the brand name for mine is "Go Industries".

In that case, you definitely should look into a Ranch Hand bumper.

Default Aries

Mine is an Aries series. It came off a 97 2500 gas and I moved it over to 99 2500 diesel. Pretty sturdy a little pricey, but it came with the truck (doubt it's Ram specific). Partially blocks left fog light on diesel.


Mopar Mike has a point, it is a 99 Sport and this guard bolts right up. It was
a bolt up to the 97 but someone before me forced it into installation (bit of a bind).
It fits up great on the 99 Sport, but it does partially
block one of the smaller designed fog lights on the 99. K.

EDIT May 16, 2014. Removed photo due to copy write issues for a photo that predated DF and was published in a truck magazine.

I think that's the only guard that fits a 99-01 Sport without having to cut into the bumper.
