let me ask you this - are you wanting this primarly for looks, or for protection?
In an accident, the flimsy brushguards you see typically cause MORE damage to the front of the vehicle than it would without, due to low mounting points and its propensity to fold backward into the hood and fenders.
If you want protection, try a heavy duty winch bumper such as the one Shrockworks sells for your truck. It'll cost about twice as much, but will give your X real front end protection.
If you're going for looks, go with the brushguard. I know the 1st gen ones can be bought just about anywhere, but you might try companies like JCWhitney, Smittybilt, etc., or visit your local truck accessories shop and parouse their catalogs.
Or...you could google it.
