Front bumpers, want pushbar/replacement

I have a 98 ranger and the guy i bought it from ripped off the front plastic part. looks like crap!! the truck also has a 3" body lift and really would look much better if there was a big bumper with a bar on it. would an f150 warn bumper fit? or am i going to have to weld something up??

Well an F150 bumper will obviously not fit on a Ranger

that series of ranger truck is starting to show up in junkyards, might just see about getting a used bumper and then getting a grill guard/push bar for it.

Weld it up! Thats what I like to hear. Just remember the 2 front bumper mounts are part of the frame and you should be rightous.Get some pics of before and after and post them. You could use a front bumper off a 96 F-150 and cut the center out to shorten the lenth. It would be a taller bumper and give you plenty of stock to run a bead on if you make your own brushguard.Post some pics. Have a good one.
