I found this Westin Sportsman grille guard for only $100 online. Thing is, the owner had no clue from what type of vehicle it came off of, all he knew was they previously owned a full-size Ford, GMC, and Dodge. Of course the mounting brackets was lost.
I ended up buying it anyway and created my own brackets out of some hardware I found at Home Depot. However when removing my tow hooks I noticed the passenger side was bent inwards The previous owner must've got into a fender bender that the dealership never told me about! This was a major problem...however I did manage to mount it.
The bracket area is not the prettiest DIY and I'll probably redo it in the future, and the fit may be off by 1/2 an inch to the left (due to the bent frame) but overall i like it! 1st pic is without driving lights:
