I put one on also...didn't want a large bulky brush guard like every one else and there brother has. MY only complaint is that I had to get the front license plate bracket and I think it doesn't look very good (not the bracket, but having the license plate in there are all) I am considering taking it off and seeing if I get pulled over.

Pull the plate off. I live in California and I never been pulled over. I think the police have other things to do than pull you over because you do not have a front license plate.

I have one on my lariat. If I hit anything I'm def. going to ruin my off road lights. Go ahead a take the plate off. Most cops will only tell you to put it back on and won't right you a ticket. I wouldn't right you a ticket. I used my stock front liscence plate bracket and modified it to work with the bull bar plate relocator kit and it looks pretty good. Pics on my galler.

Pull the plate and keep it in the cab. If a cop pulls you over for it, tell him it fell off the bullbar yesterday and you havent had time to put it back on yet.

I got mine from www.premiermotoring.net but you might be able to find it cheaper at some other sites. Google it.

Are the Westin bullbars for the 4X2s the same bullbars as for the 4X4s? Or are there two different models of Westin bullbars? I'm definitely going to get one.

No difference in the bars. Only thing tho is if the truck doesnt have tow hooks on the front, Be prepared to cut a chunk out of the Front facade. I'll have some more pics of my bullbar up tonight after i take pics of it with lights.

Do these require you to remove the front tow hooks? If so, anyone willing to part with them?
