I have a screw 4x2 no towhooks ,I like to know if anybody has the like and put on a bar installed .How did ya do it ,If possible some pics THANKS PS: do I have to remove the bumper

 

I have a 4X2 screw. I don't have a hog bar installed but I liked the tow hooks and had them installed. I had to replace the valance (black piece just under the bumper with the holes for the hooks to go through when installed.) Cost was about $39.00 for the part. There won't be a need to remove the bumper to install your bar but I'm sure you will need the new valance. Good luck!

 

I think all the chassis are the same and that the holes should be there i put a westin bar on mine and it came with all the hardware to do it without the tow hooks although i already had them on mine

 

Hey dgordon could you tell me where you ordered the Valance from THANKS. sounds like its what I need too get .

 

Guys, no need for a new valance. Just use a dremel tool and cut holes in the one you already have and the Bull Bar will fit right in.

I did an Internet search for Ford OEM parts and looked at various sites until I found what I needed. I purchased my lariat screw in Sept. '03 when they first hit the streets. Back then the dealers didn't have parts in stock. I'm sure they should be able to get it for you now. But you may find it a lot cheaper on the web. Good luck.
As for TOREADOR's suggestion above (Cutting the slots), I thought about that also and was going to do it. But when I found the correct valance at an inexpensive price, I just thought it would be a cleaner/professional look. Again, hope all works out for you.

BEWARE OF THE 2005 ATLANTA FALCONS! SUPERBOWL BOUND!!

 

dgordon : Thanks I agree on the clean look also .I did think of the first option too use the dremel tool but Im going to see about replacing the valance

 

Keith, the bull bar should come with brackets( flat stock w/ nuts welded to it) check w/ manufacturer.

 

Thats a real good thought BUT the Hog Bar that I got doesnt have that , I also got a new valance at the dealer today .And when I took the other one off I got slaped good , part of the bumper is still blocking the frame hole ,I think im going to have too take the bumper off anyways. NOT GOOD
