Westin® 57-3545 - HDX Black Grille Guard

The grill look great and makes the truck look awesome! The paper directions weren't very good/clear, but you can download the directions which had much clearer pictures. The secondary mounting brackets were a little confusing from the directions themselves, but once I figured this point out the rest went very quickly.

Looks good. Small blemish on passenger side. My guard does not have center bar across lights as what is shown in picture.

Looks great and well made for the price, but does not fit the RAM Rebel as advertised.

Grille looks great and was easy to install. 2" tube construction makes this thing a true wrecking ball on wheels. A great value through TRUCKiD. My only problem was the manufacturer provided 2 replacement bolts to reattach my tow hooks on 2014 RAM lonestar, they should have provided 4- 2 for each side. I had to run to hardware store to get some for temporary use and they are sending me some to swap out with later.

This grill guard was made for my truck, not only does it look great. It's strong and built really well. The mounting instructions could not have been any more clear than they were. Bolts fit where they should, brackets fit perfect, and all the bolt holes lined up great. Took me by myself a little over two hours to install. Westin really has a great product with this grill guard.

I wanted protection without an overly industrial look. This grille guard is great, sturdy enough for rough terrain but polished enough for city driving. Had no issues during install.

Check out the installation instructions. Find someone who has hands on experience with the 21 Sierra 1500 and equivalent installation. Some videos indicate a three hour process. Different people at Westin tell different stories regarding retention of tow hooks and cutting of existing body components. Instruction pictures are hard to decipher due to odd angles of the shots and quality of the images. The Chevy grille is much different. Two installers at a regarded custom shop took six hours on mine. Count the cost. I'm happy with the results after installation, and think this is the best out there for the 1/2 ton Sierra. If Ali-Arc or Herd had come up with something I would have gone that route. I think both aren't willing to undertake the mess that GM has made of the design.

The grill guard is first-rate. Installation was a challenge as the instructions said to remove and not replace the tow hooks. However, when we got into it, we had to cut the tow hooks off the mounts and reinstall the mounts as they are necessary to reinstall the front skid plate as the skid plate. Bolts on the tow hook mounts. Also the guard interferes with the front crash sensors when you are going less than 5 MPH and they indicate a forward obstacle. Once you get moving everything works as programmed. I have installed various heavy-duty brush guards on every vehicle I have owned for the last 20 years as I live in deer country and the Westin is as well-built as any I have purchased in the past and looks better than most. I can easily give the guard itself 5 stars, but if there was a separate rating for installation it would rate a 3.

Thank God for YOUTUBE! (directions s*ck). That being said the grill guard is awesome, will not own a truck without one. Living in MT and driving at night lots of critters on the road. Had a Westin grill guard on my last truck and hit a deer at 70 MPH and did minimal damage, cheap insurance, these things are tough.

This is the grille guard you have to buy. It is super strong and beefy that looks impressive on your truck. You will get comments from your friends and others on how tough it looks. Great!! Easy to install.
