Default Bull bar, tail light guards, & lights, oh my!



Figured I'd get that outa the way...

I am now a proud owner of a black Westin bull bar, black Westin tail light guards, a black rear hitch step (<for rear-end protection), & driving lights to attach to the rear hitch step for reverse lights. The Lund tail light covers I had wont fit with the new tail light guards so Im gonna niteshade this weekend.

I just wanted to share my excitement! Will post pics of everything installed on Sunday probably.

uhh bobby unfortunately they do use those *****..just on the wrong people! or little boys shall i say ahem. since were on the topic of bull bars and i came on here to look it up, what would you call the bolts that have to be loosened to get the bull bar off? iv had my aries bull bar since february and it just sits in my garage because those bolts will not come loose! i even tried a 3/4" impact on them with pb blast and had my buddy hold the bushings with a prybar. my only option is to cut the bolt and replace the bolt and bushings. i want to go down to the dealership and order the parts but i feel like it will take them forever to figure out what i need if i dont have the proper name or part number

Front body mount bolts maybe. If you do cut and replace drill out the threads on the bushing and put a nut on top. It makes things so much easier

That's what you do when installing a body lift and it made putting on my bull bar so much easier.
