Hi drives',
I tried to send you a PM but your mailbox is full.
I wanted to let you know that I have pulled the post in "Support for Discontinued Parts" sub-forum.
The reason is I'm trying to closely track that sub-forum and keep it on topic. I committed to TDR that it would be for the sole/express purpose of posting info relating to replacement part numbers, alternative suppliers/sources for and solutions to discontinued parts/components only.
Can I suggest that you also post your need in the classifieds. It is a good place to get extra exposure for what you need. I hope you can work with that. Also can I ask that if you do find info on discontinued parts etc. you place a thread in that specific forum. It would be a big help to all 1st Genners since our trucks are getting older every day, and no one is making or doing much for our versions any more.
I have used a Warn bumper with winch pocket, and used steel handrailing for a brush guard on my 1st Gen. It worked well and was pretty cheap to do, (except for the Warn winch).
You can get a good look at it in the 'readers rigs' section if you're interested.
Bob.
