Westin Ultimate Bull Bar finally offered for Ranger:
Try not to put too much faith into anything you bolt to the front of the truck. The smittybuilt bar that is on Trixie's exploder was also strong enough to destroy a Grand-Am but it took some damage as well. The two 3/8" vertical plates bent in the accident and need to be replaced. The crappy part about it tho is that it attaches using 3 bolts per side underneath, one of which you have to drill for, and then two 3/8" bolts on a crappy 3/16" 'L' bracket that bolts to the bumper. It looks good, but even with all of those bolts, it still moved around if you pulled hard enough on it.
No doubt, they look good, but don't expect much protection.

my westin sportsman grill guard has aluminum brackets, and its SSSOOOO easy for the bar to bed if you hit something, or have it push against something (ie; a mud hole) (talkin from experience :p)
