Wanted: Brush guard that will fit on 1st gen

[Saiko18]

I am looking for a brush guard that will fit my '92 Explorer similar to this one:

I have been searching, but with not much luck. Any help would be much appreciated!

I havent seen them... have you tried craiglist or a junkyard?

No one makes one for the first gen, but a second gen will work. Slightly modified.

Just have to bend the headlight guards out a bit because of the rounded nose on the second gens.

Little heat, pull, repaint.

Otherwise you will only find them in the Junk yard.

Bummer, that's what I was afraid of. I read that some people grabbed them off of old Broncos from junkyards. I guess I'll have to do some scrounging around. Would there be any particular guard I would be looking for? Like one off a vehicle that works pretty well with the 1st gens?

I know you said the 2nd gen guard will work with a bit of a modification, but just checking to see if there are other possibilities.

I find them for sale on Craigslist a lot. You could try there

I have a smittybuilt <-spelling? brush guard/ tube bumper with light mount.

Slight damage from accident, it needs some straightening on the left side.

It weighs 25-35 lbs.
