Yes you can, the Westin Bull Bar is my personal favorite! Check it out on my truck in my Garage. Mine is 4x4 but it came with the mounting hardware if your truck was a 4x2!

Unfortunately for your year model it only comes in painted black at the moment, but if a black bar would look good on your truck then your set!

Yes it can be installed on a 2wd, I didn't get the Westin I got one off Truck Champ off the internet

How sturdy are the truck champs? What is the clearance between the bumper/grille and the bar? Thanks

The Truck Champs could be sturdier but from what I can tell it mounts exactly the same as my Westin. These bars are strictly for looks. They are strong dont get me wrong but I would seriously doubt they would take any serious hit, such as a large dog or deer. They are great for brush to protect your bumper, but again these bars are mainly for looks. It's not that they arent built well enough to take a hit, but these trucks don't offer any good mounting points to use the full potential of these bullbars.

But for looks you can't beat them!

The Westin Bull bar comes with mounting instructions for both 2WD and 4WD models.

What is the purpose of this bull bar?

Just appearance it sounds like. I was looking for a complete replacement bumper that can take a deer hit, but so far it seems that they only make them for the heavy duty trucks. Buck Stop Bumper is an example.
