I have a 2003 4x2 f150 and i came across a insanely good deal on a westin brush guard but its for a 4x4... i know it hooks into the tow hooks but i dont have any. Is it possible to drill the tow hooks so it can be installed? has anyone ever come across this before?

 

*drill the holes where the tow hooks should be

 

Yes if you dont have tow hooks then you will need to cut holes in the lower valence if that is where the guard needs to be bolted down to. I cant tell you if it will fit though

 

Well it hooks into where the tow hooks would be on the frame thats the only thing im worried about...

 

Then all you will need to do is cut holes where the tow hooks would go and where they hook up to the frame should be there. I'd make sure the spot to connect them is there before I cut holes

 

Most generally the holes are there no matter of its a 4x2 or 4x4

 

The holes on the frame that it will bolt to will just because its a assembly line truck. Still will need to cut holes in the valence though if that one isn't there.

 

So i ended up picking it up with lights and all for 75 bucks! Haha but turns out i dont have the holes on the underside of my frame. But i might be getting BL so id have to fab a bracket anyway. or spindels.... we shall see

 

Could anyone tell me how far back the holes on the frame are and the diameter? I guess im going to have to drill them? or does anyone know ho i should go about this?
