You would have to do some welding and altering to it to make it work. The way it comes wont work.

The only brush guard that will fit is one for an 03/04. A D2 guard will fit, but you have to trim the fascia a little. The D1 mounts are narrower than a D2. They do mount to the outside of the crush cans, so you may be able to mount a D1 guard inside the cans of a D2 with spacers, but I have not seen it done.

and a D1 bumper will not fit a D2.

Resurrecting this thread for a question.

It sounds like a 02 and prior brush guard will mount up to an 03+ but would require some trimming. Is this trimming to the front plastic fascia of the bumper cover? Is there a way to drill new holes in the frame or bumper to move the guard further forward to avoid this trimming? Possible weld new plates to extend it out?

Thnaks

There is some trimming required to the front bumper cover for the mounts to pass through it to the frame.

I'll try to remember to take a pic my 2000 had a brush guard before me and it was removed so I have the holes but no guard.

I found a 03 brush bar right around the corner from my office but I can't figure out if it will bolt up to my 00.
