That Westin looks good on there toy4everyseason. How much fabrication did you have to do to get the taillamp guards on?

I had to cut off all the brackets and start from scratch. The guard itself is about 1/4 of an inch short on the sides but it still looks ok. The hard part was making it clear the tailgate.

Toy4everyseason,

In your HO do you see anyway that a person could install the bull bar and tow hooks as seen here:

Thanks to Diggerfreak on the above, but anyway I have asked about this already, how does one still maintain front recovery points and have a bull bar at the same time, is this possible or am I off my rocker?

I just don't want to drill holes anywhere just like I am trying to figure out a way to provide multiple mounting locatins for off road flag without adding holes anywhere. My first idea was to have the wife in the back seat with the sky slider open holding the flag.

Hmmm first off I'll send you to my "how to" thread that shows the brackets and bolt plates included in the kit.

Ok if you look in the first picture, the top black brackets are what attaches to the Libby. Now there is about 3/4 of an inch room to the center of the bolt holes and the inside of the bracket. That's the first issue, you'd have to measure the total outside diameter of the tow hooks and also measure the distance from the center of the bolt holes and the outside of the tow hooks. If the tow hooks fit inside the bracket it may work. The problem then would be the bolt plates that bolt up to the bracket. With the tow hooks attached inside the brackets the bolt plates are not long enough and new ones would need to be made. The 3rd issue is the skid plate on my bully bar covers the area that would allow access to the hooks. Will it work?!? hard to say, it depends on which bully bar you purchase and how much you like to modify parts and cars.

I really like the bull bar! As for the tail light covers, nice work on the custom install but I don't like them. I'm going to look into the bull bar right away!

i had the tail light guards for a month i hated them they where a pain to put on and after a few weeks they started to rattle plus on top of that the brackets rusted in a few weeks too steelcraft just makes a crappy product my friend had there side steps and they also rusted. i just threw them in the trash lesson learned.

Obviously the lights didn't come installed on the bully bar. Did you do that yourself & were those universal PIAA lights?

This thread is almost a year old, try a PM if you don't get a reply here

Its got some cheap lights from Harbor Tools on it now, they just aren't wired up yet. I hate wiring.

At least it looks like it should. :lol:

I'll post some pics once I get them wired up... then I'll start saving for some Piaas. :twisted:

Looking great.
Yes the 08+ Libby taillight is bigger than the Nitro taillight. The rear hatch is also a different size.
But there are many other parts that will cross over.

N***o parts ordered - - Wish me luck
