    Have a chance to get one of these for about half price. Just wondering if it will fit or with minor modifications it will fit....

    I guess that's what I was truly wondering was if I needed to change everything to make it fit. I know that the mounting holes or whatever are the same but after that I didn't know the height of the headlights or whatever. If there was just a gap at the bottom of the grill or something like that then I would just build a filler plate and be done with it.

    I’m sure you could, but the gaps around the grill/lights will look way off.

    Save up and get one that actually is made for a 2nd gen. Saving money for an ill-fitting bumper to make it fit will just end up making it look cheap when installed. There are many much better quality manufacturers of bumpers than the lower end companies like Tyger or Hooke Road. Just keep in mind that any steel bumper you decide to go with that you will likely need to address the suspension/lift to accommodate the extra weight.

    Yeah I just don't have an extra $1,000 - $2,000 to put towards a bumper. Wish I did.... Maybe if I save 5 or 6 more years.

    If you look at that bumper long enough, you won't want it anymore. Then you're good to go.

    I decided to pass on it...
    I don't like the look of the hooke road at all

    This one's not terrible but not quite what I want either but I'm contemplating it if I can get another 160. Wish it had the grill guard hoop
