Westin Ultimate Bull Bar
 
Bride dropped the info on me that she is buying me a Westin Ultimate Bull Bar for our anniversary. I'm stuck on this specific one so please, no sells on others. Anyway, looking for the best price. Would love to buy from a sponsor if possible. I want the Westin Ultimate Bull Bar in Chrome (32-2400 is the part number). Best price I've found is from Amazon for $335.00 with free shipping. Thanks for the help!!!!

Also, lemme know if you like lights on the bull bars or not.

BassAckwards 02-15-2012 11:37 PM

That sounds like a good price, especially if it comes with the license plate relocation kit.

I love mine, especially with lights!

Also don't worry about your tranny cooler! Even with lights and license plate my tranny stays plenty cool.

That does not include the license plate relocation kit but MS doesn't require a front license plate so I'll simply do away with it most likely. She doesn't like the light and I didn't have any on my last truck BUT think on this one, I may like them.

Do they not make the Ultimate Bull Bar to fit 09-12 models? I have been seeing mixed things about it on different sites. Just wondering what year is your truck bugs.

Hmmm, not seen any concerns. Here is the link from Westin's site. My truck is a 2010 Lariat Screw 4 x 4.

Anyone have pics of a bull bar on a stock 4x4? I want one but it will be a while before I can level and change tires. I have the Lariat chrome 20s.

Yes. It's westin model 32-2400 in chrome. Hmm, haven't seen anything about fitment issues. My truck is a 2010 Lariat Screw 4 x 4.



Here is the link from westin's site. . . . . . .

Also, shot Westin an email just to see what they have to say as well.

Bug Bunny 02-16-2012 09:48 PM

I'll be able to post pics in a week or so!!!!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Bug Bunny 02-16-2012 10:35 PM

Didn't think it would be a problem to post where I found the best price for anyone else interested. This price was equal to amazon's price BUT with this place, you get a gift card equal to 10% of your order for the next couple days. Anyways, heres the link. . . . .

Get polished Stainless Steel not chrome plated steel. Chrome will not hold up if you live in "salt" country. Powder coated black also will not.

this is not a bull bar but a brush guard on mine. It has mounts for four round lights but I put LED's on it. Just an option if anyone likes.

Bug Bunny 02-17-2012 09:37 AM

Westin's website lists the ultimate bull bar as stainless. This is the same one I had on my 2008 and it looks really nice! As posted, I'll get pics up as soon as it comes in!!!!

Bug Bunny 02-17-2012 03:57 PM

Also, any trimming required for the install??

I just installed the Westin Ultimate bull bar on my 06. Looks great and easy to install. Your are getting a good price, I got mine from AutoAnything for $327 plus got a set of Westin driving lights thrown in. Am in the process of installing them now. I did not get the front license plate bracket, Alabama doesn't require front plates. RTR.

Lol spoken like a true man! :thumbsup:

Get the lights! But don't go cheap if you do it! Lights are definitely a "you get what you pay for" item. I recommend KC because they have a 23 year no questions asked replacement warranty for bulbs, relays, rusted housing, whatever!

Also I recommend a long range/off-road application because the driving lights usually count as high beam and you can't have two high beams or regular lights + high beams on at the same time anyways. Not in Tx at least. And you aren't going to be using these on the highway either. The off-road lights shine crazy far and are super bright. But they are a more concentrated beam so some people don't like them, but they work perfect as deer spotters for me.

I'm pretty anal about my ride and keeping a pretty stock interior. Where are you guys putting the switch for the lights??? And thanks for the info on the KC. That was actually a big reason I was thinking no because of that very reason. Hate seeing the lights that are six months old all rusted out!!!

Mine haven't rusted at all! I was just using that as an example. But I'll take a picture of where I put my switch tomorrow and it looks stock. There is a spot to the left of the the steering wheel where the accelerator pedal adjuster switch would be and I did not have that option so I removed the cover over the hole and placed it there. It will make more sense when I take the picture if that was confusing.

Bug Bunny 02-18-2012 01:28 AM

Thanks. I have that option so I'll look around tomorrow for somewhere.
