RJ,

Sorry no pictures. I've had the Westin Bull Bar for about 1. 5 years. Great product. The chrome over stainless is still perfect. I spent the extra $ for the skid plate, it really looks good imo.



One problem imo is the mounting position. The Dodge picture on the Westin website does not show how low their brackets cause the bar to sit. My Dodge is a 4x4. Because the bar sits too low, my approach angle is decreased to unacceptable limits for what I use the truck for.



The good news is the fix is easy, just shorten the brackets 3" and the bar will sit where it should.



Another problem is one of the pem nuts that holds the bracket for off road lights is not tight, allowing the light to bounce slightly over bumps.



I had to relocate my front liscense plate so it would show above the skid plate. I just used the top liscense plate bumper holes in the bottom holes of the plate, which raised it the height of the plate.

Sorry, i don't have any pictures either. I had the same problem Dane had, the bar looked great, but it just hung to darn low!

I cut the brackets off three times before i finally got it where i wanted it, and then making it work with the front receiver hitch was a good trick.



Stick

I see both you guys have 4x4's. I will be putting on the front receiver also . I had a westin brush gaurd but I thought they look funky on the 2WD. My truck is low and I thought the bull bar would look nice with lights.

I installed the Westin Bull Bar stainless, with KC daylighters- slim line black. Looks very clean. Easy to install and modify as neceassry as some have indicated they have done. Had the skid plate installed, didn`t care for the look. I have not posted pictures but the wifes a geek and I`ll get some pics out to you this week. Still looking for info on installing aftermarket fog lights( PIAA 510) on auto equiped 96...
