Bought this push bar from TireGearDirect(ebay)
Fits 1996-2001 Ford Explorer Grill Guard Push Bumper in Black | eBay

I am curious about this push bar, anyone that has this exact one, did you have any trouble installing? it's advertised as a direct bolt on, but when installing, the main frame bolts did not line up at all. I actually had to mount it using the longer bolt provided by this kit. I also had to cut the lower part of my bumper and trim some of my radiator air duct. it's not very sturdy at the moment but it's holding. If you push it forward or backwards it will move since i couldn't mount it right due to my issue. It should be fine as long as no one messes with it.
Other then that, i like the way it sits. just wish i can get it more sturdy
