Anyone with blacksmith type skills will be able to fabricate one to your spec using the old one as a template. Work out how you are going to mount it though as the current front brackets will need to be larger and stronger.

Carl I've been asking my self the same question. When I get 5 mins I will look into finding a company who can make one to the same pattern. Not sure what steel to use either. If it is just a case of heating it up and bending it, shouldn't be that hard. Wound look at making it adj as well.

Didn't TJ modify a Sierra (What else? :lol: ) one to fit?
Then there's that Alfa Romeo one that's been made to fit in the states...

Yep and sold it on Ebay for peanuts as nobody was interested.
It was 24 mm and worked well enough but I have standard back in at the mo.
