Mounting Lights, Push Bar & Tires

Hello all,


I was wondering where/what type of push bar/grille guard or bull bar is compatible '92 W250 ? Specifically so that lights and possibly a winch can be mounted on front?.


Also is there a light bar that can be mounted on top of roof for three or four lights or does that need to be done over the bed?

Does anyone have a recommendation for good D rated A/T type tire? Looking for something that not only performs well but looks like has the FWD look.


Sorry for the questions but these are some things that I just don't have the data on.


thanks

Thank you. I saw that and commented on it.


The problem I see with the 1st Gen Dodge trucks is , there are not many fabricators that make bumpers for these. Buckstop appears to be the only one and it is pricey.

There was a thread on here that said Backwoods Bumpers was now making 1st gen bumpers. Sorry don't know how to do links but a search will bring it up. The last I knew Ali Arc would still make a 1st gen bumper but had to be custom ordered. No idea if they still make them but they are verrrrrry pricey but nice.

You should be looking at E rated tires not D rated.

I have had a good experience with the Yohohama Geolander ATs.

I also see a lot of Nitto or Toyo tires on Dodges around here

I have seen lights mounted on a roof rack style bar before as far as lighting options without getting a roll bar.

My BF Goodrich E-class tires are warranteed for 40,000 miles, but I now have about 65,000 miles on them and they still have good tread remaining.

Here are some other bumper names. Many of these do not make bumpers for our First Gen trucks; you'll need to spend some time on the Web or on the phone. Some of these may no longer be in business.

front & rear bumpers:
www.southwestfabricators.com

front & rear bumpers:
www.buckstop.biz/dodge93.html

front & rear bumpers & air intakes:
www.asamodifieds.com

front & rear bumpers in California:
www.reunel.com/index.html

first gen bumpers (special order) in Arkansas:
www.backwoodsbumpers.com/1stGen.html

Other bumpers:
1. A bumper manufacturer in Canada specializing in aluminum bumpers for semi trucks
"AliArc used to make a bumper for 91-93 dodge trucks but do not anymore. They still have the plans and can make them for someone if desired, part# DGB-219. You cannot order directly from Aliarc though, you will have to order from one of their distributors."

Thank you for your time. I appreciate everyone's input here. I am familiar with some of these names and you are correct, most do not fabricate for the 1st Gen trucks while others are out of business.
