Westin BB install

Titan-Power · 08-15-2006, 06:52 PM

Installed my BB last week but just getting to post a few pictures! Im so lazy sometimes

Install was a snap, yes the tow hooks need to be removed (bummer). Just need to get some off road lights to finish it off.

Very nice. I take it that the BB's pretty much bolt down where the tow hooks bolt down to?

Titan-Power · 08-15-2006, 07:03 PM

Yes thats correct, the BB uses the tow hook mount holes.

Yeah, I'm really wanting to purchase BB's for my truck as well. If you don't mine me asking, how much did you get the BB's for?

Looks sharp! Would you still be able to install the Armada front lip with the BB? It looks like you could from your pics, but wasn't sure if their was clearance.

Very nice, clean looking truck.

Looks good! I have the Aries BB on mine. It looks the same but doesn't have the black plastic pieces on the ends of the lower bar to cover the welds. I assume that's all the plastic is for right?

nice nice nice. next mod for me right there.

topherdbu · 08-16-2006, 02:00 PM

how much you want for your tow hooks?

8NOFEAR · 08-16-2006, 05:54 PM

Ya i got one too but in black........ did you have trouble putting the screws in?

SoCalCheez · 08-16-2006, 09:02 PM

Very nice add on to cap off your already nice ride.

Since i'm here I have a question. Besides mounting lights, looks, and possibly a mounting point to tie a canoe to...are there any other uses?...

Hi All,

Thanks for the compliments! Ill try to answer all the questions in this one message.

m0wens, if i remember correctly it was around 300.00 bucks give or take a bit.. sorry. I can research the exact price and where i bought it if you want... just let me know.

22buks, from eyballing it, yes it may fit. Please dont go just on my word on this! You can see the mount holes on the lower bumper that the air dam uses. There is a thread on here where a member had some pretty good photos of the air dam install.

BB, Yes you are correct, the plastic serves no other purpose other than hiding the ugly tack welds!

Top, Not selling them just yet.

8nofear, i did not have too much trouble putting the new bolts in, i did have knuckle busting time tho getting the tow hook mount bolts out! Torqued to *ell! I dont like the cheesy spacer that the aft mount bolt uses, jezz is that spacer big enough lol

SoCal, you hit it dead on, the main reason i got the BB was for looks and extra lighting (which i need to buy still lol). Secondary is the attitude look it adds to our already tough looking trucks!

Titan-power, I chucked the hollow section of small gauge pipe they provide for a spacer and used a series of thick stainless washers about 1 1/4" O.D. Much more solid mount plus the bolt "traps" them so I don't need to worry about the gauge spacer crushing or slipping out.

Smart move! I will copy you and also dump those bolts and get hex heads. Just like what we had in there holding the tow hooks in, the front bolts will work, its the rear (obviously) that are short and needed longer ones.

is there any way to put on a bull bar and also keep the tow hooks installed??
