I've heard of people making it fit, I believe there will be some modification.

maybe welding a transition bracket that compensates for the small size difference in the two rigs.

it's been done...no proof....but "common knowledge" is that it can't be done.

what everyone agrees on tho is that these bars are for parking lot protection. not accident, large animal or meaningful brush. They say it does more damage than good but it's been perfect for me.

i actually just cut mine, pointed them out and called it a stinger.

It CAN be done, it HAS been done, and I HAVE seen it in person.

Ahh, I thought you were saying it couldn't be done. Anything can be done with a cut off wheel and a welder!

A little food for thought when adding a D1 bar to a D2, most of them are so rusted by now they have long hit the junk pile. The question I would ask is why are you adding one? If for looks and you can make it fit, it offers little or no actual protection it is really just for looks.
