Anyone have anything good or bad about the Westin Push Bar's?

I was thinking of adding one, I like the looks of the SS ones. Most likely get one without the head light guards, but I have not decided yet.

chainzaw - Sweet bumpers! I'm really interested in Reunels rear winch mount bumper. How is it working for you? Pro's/Cons.

Thanks

Yeah sorry for the thread de-railment, I had just been looking at much the same thing.

IMO only, the full HD bumpers look better on 6x6 military vehicles. To me they some times give the front of a pick-up truck too much offsetting looks. The front looks bad, the back looks, well like just a bit too skinny. I think about the bodybuilder that worked hard on chest and arms and has scrawny little legs.

Here is mine...all homemade as well, ignore the weight rack, its bolted to the frame, not the bumper.




Wish I could find someone to trade it for a sport bumper, but then I worry...it saved me lots of damage, i only had a cracked corner marker and some scratches when i hit this:



I was able to drive home then loosened the bolts at the frame and pushed it back down where it belongs and was good to go.

Love it love it love it! The rear bumper is the best bang for the buck. And make sure you buy the PIAA lights! You will never regret it. If you have a short bed like me they have to build out the bumper a few inches so the winch will clear the spare tire. I think it looks better that way anyhow. The front stainless bumper is over priced in my opinion but i had my mind made up and i couldn't talk myself into buying the painted bumper for much less. Besides i did some side work to pay for most of it.

GB, I'd trade you my Sport frontend, but the thought of shipping (between you and SD) would turn it into a not so good deal for both of us. I'm overseas right now, but plan on being in the Buffalo, NY area this coming December....I know, it's a while off still.
