Video Transcript for Westin Fey Diamondstep Rear Bumper with Custom Installation Kit Spec Review

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Westin Fey Chrome Plated Steel Diamond Step Rear Bumper with the custom installation kit. Now, this is a custom fit part, it is designed to fit the 1987 to 1996 Dodge Dakota trucks, and on the custom fit part like this, I always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now, this is a replacement rear bumper, creates a nice, sturdy step, so that you can access your truck bed with ease, and this does match the factory specifications to fit your vehicle styling, so it adds both utility and rugged good looks to your vehicle. As you can see, it has a nice chrome plating on it, it adds brilliant shine and resist corrosion. And I mentioned the diamond tread step surface, if you look at the very top of the bumper, the whole length of it has this nice diamond tread surface to it, and that'll provide traction when you're getting into an out of your truck bed.

If you noticed, also down here, it has the three integrated ball holes that make towing very easy, all you have to do is just add a hitch ball. Now, the hitch balls are not included, we do sell those separately on our website. The hitch ball you'll usually put right in the center hole here, the diameter of the hole is 3/4 of an inch, so you do wanna make sure when you get a hitch ball that the shank diameter's 3/4 of an inch. If you noticed the two holes on each side, you can usually use those for the safety chain hookups. Now, this is a cold rolled steel, it's very strong and sturdy.

Also, if you noticed, it does include the license plate lights, which will wire into your running lights. Basically, these would just insert right into those openings, use the clips to hold it into place. Here's your wiring harness with the bulbs, put those in there, and then you use these connectors to connect it to your running lights. Now, there's also, if you noticed, there's the holes right up here, there's two square holes, that'll take these plastic inserts that are included with the screws, so you'll be able to attach your license plate to the bumper. Now, to install this, it is a pretty quick and easy bolt-on installation, there's no drilling required, you get these custom brackets and the hardware that allow you to bolt this to your vehicle.

Few specs on this, the towing capacity is 3,500 pounds, tongue capacity of 350 pounds, and that is stamped on the bumper. And last thing I wanna do is just give you the measurements on this. The overall length from one end to the other is 64 3/4 inches long, the width of the bumper, seven inches wide, total height, 6 1/2 inches tall. But that should do it for the review on the Westin Fey Chrome Plated Steel Diamond Step Rear Bumper with the custom installation kit..
