Bull Bar Question?
I have an '05 SLT and was wondering if anyone else had a Bull Bar on their SLT? I kept looking at the pics of them on Ebay and all the trucks that I see have a chrome metal bumper. Mine is plastic and has an extra air dam at the bottom. It doesn't look like I can attach it correctly. Thanks for the help.

I dont think its only the SLT that had the painted front bumper, I have an SLT although an 03, and my front bumper is the chrome type. I always thought that the painted bumpers and grills were the "Sport" models. And yeah have been looking to get the front bull/push bar and on some site I was able to download installation instructions telling you to cut that lower airdam. If I can find them I will PM them to ya.

RE: Bull Bar Question?
If you get a bull bar that uses mounts that go under the bumper, you will have to cut the dam to get it to mount. There are also bull bars that are available that mount straight through the lower grill opening as mine does. Check out my gallery and I have a good side pic of this. I still had to cut the lower plastic grill insert to get it back in as I did not want a huge opening after the bar was in palce. I just used a dremel to cut to size.

Westin E series. It was the cheapest one they have, and also doesn't have WESTIN printed huge on the underside or has those huge black weld covers on the joints.

RE: Bull Bar Question?
Hey Kebo, I put my bull bar on it is also a Westin, I love it and get lots of comments I am sure it has a lot to do with itpretty easy install, as JD and L and R said you can cut the air dam, but I just left mine off incase I ever removed it I wouldnt have hunt down a replacement, and you can't really see it for the mid-bar, hope these pics might help.
