Looks great for 22 years and they are indeed fun to take off road! Had some good friends from Youngstown, Ohio a long time ago, nice people.

Nice truck. Paint looks good too. I mounted mine right in the grill

What mounts did you use or where did you mount it too?

If I had more pics I’d share what I did. But here’s some crappy illustrations on my iPhone lol. When you pop your grill off you had the radiator support there with a triangular frame in the middle. I just made like a rectangle out of angle iron with holes. So 2 long pieces horizontally and 2 small pieces vertically to keep everything straight. Then I mounted them to the triangle part with nuts and bolts. You’re gonna be pretty close to the radiator. So short bolts and carefully drilling is key not to damage anything

Red lines are angle iron. Blue dots are where I drilled in to the radiator support to secure it
