Westin Ultimate Bull Bars

Nice, clean accessory. Just limited front end protection; I'd like to see some way to protect more of the grille area, though its wraparound shape makes that a daunting task

The bar was very easy to install. It took only about half an hour. I didn't really buy it to use as a push bar, which is fortunate because it wouldn't last very long in that application. Tubing is pretty light gauge and the mounting brackets have a fair amount of "adjustment" that would allow the bar to hit the bumper in any kind of significant impact. The stainless steel "skid plate" is a nice touch, and adds considerably to the already good looks. But it is also thin and I wouldn't expect it to offer very much real protection. The light mounts require you to put the nuts and washers for the lights up through a relatively small hole in the bottom of the tube they mount on, which can be a little tricky, but looks sanitary once it's done. The tube diameter is almost too large, in my opinion, for the Dodge Dakota I mounted it on. The description said mini/mid size truck applications used 2.5" tubing instead of the 3" tubing used for full-size trucks, so I guess my Dakota is a full-size truck according to Westin. The 3" tubing still looks great, but I think the smaller tube would have looked even better. I probably would have given it 4 stars, but I think the price is a little steep for what you get. For that kind of money, I expect something that offers some real protection. Also, it would be nice if some provision for mounting the front license plate were included, rather than being an additional-cost option.

It looks like it would be added protection for your front end, I think it's too light for protection, but looks great

This bull bar was very easy to install and has protected my front end during these past few winter months.

Great Appearance, Design not heavy duty. After easy installation, appeared not to be useful for anything but looking at or mounting extra lighting.

I purchased this Bull Bar and it has changed the look of my truck. I added a set of Pro Comp lights to enhanced the look, and it looks great. I've received many compliments on the look of the truck[...] I would recommend doing business with 4 Wheel Parts.
