Contact the site in my second link and see if they will sale you the brackets. the link is for my 2 wheel drive. look up the 4wd part first.

The 4wd brackets are like the ones in post #38 in this thread.

Getting brackets made would be expensive, I'd just go to a metal shop and ask for some scrap pieces of angle iron and drill the holes in the angle iron yourself. That's all a fab shop is going to do. As far as losing your tow hooks, take the measurement of the distance between the mounting locations on the guard, and the distance between the frame rails and see where it'll sit.

The kid I bought the grill guard said http://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/...ad=47362750812
These brackets would work but will they work with tow hooks?
