2k is a bit high I'd say especially with the current trend of buyers wanting vehicles more fuel efficient. Also being such an old vehicle, parts are becoming harder and harder to find although most are available here from various sources.

As for something heftier than a bull bar, Justice R is currently making bumpers for our rigs. So was Don H although I haven't seen nor heard from him in a long while.

Alternatively if you have fab skills or access to someone with those skills it's easy enough to fab a bumper or an adapter for a bumper for another rig.
