Default Looking for a bull bar

Been wanting to find one that just loops up in the front and has spots for fogs. Want it to be fairly cheap. Looked a bit on ebay but wasn't sure. Would like some opinions. Oh and it has to be black.

If you're handy and can make some brackets, I'll sell you one cheap. I cut the brackets off to mount it on my truck after my SAS, but then I ended up building a winch bumper instead. Black with stainless "skid plate". Westin brand.

Here it is on my truck:

Most bull bars have two holes across the center bar for mounting lights. Look at the link below, mouse over the picture and you'll get a close up view, and you'll be able to see the two holes in the center bar already.

That's a screaming deal. I couldn't sell mine any cheaper than that.

As you can see, mine costs a lot more than that one new.

Try some auto salvage yards, if they have any, they should be very affordable, but they might not be for a 3rd gen Dakota. I got one that was for a different truck & made some adapter brackets - works well.
