Bush Bar/Grille Guards AND Front Receivers

Hi all,

Was thinking about a full bumper replacement, but now I'm thinking maybe a good Push Bar/Grille Guard instead, plus adding a Front End Receiver. I'd like a push bar that's stout enough to push vehicles occasionally. It looks like a push bar and front receiver might not work together though, depending on brand. Anyone know of or have BOTH a stout push bar AND a front receiver installed on their 3rd gen, and if so, what brands push bar and receiver? Thanks.

You sound like the perfect canidate for a WARN Trans4mer system. I had one on my 99 and it worked great. I had the stainless steel, PIAA light kit, front reciever, NO brush guard because I thought it looked lame.

Here's a pic
of mine

This is a Ranch Hand Legend Series (w/Milemarker 12,000lb winch). You can get these with or without the winch ready configuration. I picked it up at a local RH wholesaler as a "scratch and dent". It is made out of schedule 40 pipe and mounts right to the frame. I would recommend it if you are going to be pushing anything (as opposed to a grill guard only). As far as I know, all Ranch Hands come standard with a 2'' front receiver. There are some other good brands out there, but I like the RH alot. More pics in my gallery.
