im looking for something simple, ive seen AC's prerunner bumper for the 01 X, but i dont even want that much going on, im just looking for a single bar, with 4 tabs, that mounts to the front bumper of a 2001.
it could even attach to the bumper itself honestly, i just want to mount some lights. i dont want bull bars, or anything crazy, looking for like $100-$150.

anyone know of anything?

you could see if Fangers might be able to do something for you...xoskel.com

If I can get a donor truck and some time I will come up with something. Probably not within your preferred time frame.

I have the prerunner bar and it works great. I know you said you didn't want that much up there but here are some pics of it on my X for refrence:

Mount them directly to your stock bumper. Or, run to your local hardware store and buy some steel square stock. Mount your lights to that and then mount it to your bumper. Can be done for less than $20.

i think thats what im going to end up doing, mount them to the bumper, ill probably only mount 2 though.

i know you don't want a bull bar but i got one just sitting in my garage not doing anything. its bent and has a dent but if you are willin to come get it you can have it for 25 bucks. i'll never use it.

thanks mike, im tempted, but i dont want to comprimise the approach angle and ground clearance.
