This the review I posted on TacomaWorld about the grill: “I had purchased a HD Steelcraft grille guard, via Carid, for my 2017 Tacoma, but it was not received in acceptable condition (from manufacturing and shipping). After being refunded I purchased a HDX Westin, grille guard, via etrailer. First, I have to say the Westin was much more difficult in install; luckily I had a buddy with more experience on such projects, more patients and the right tools. The instructions covered several years of Tacomas and were poorly written and illustrated. With that said the packaging from Westin was far superior than that of Steelcraft’s. Westin had every part covered by cardboard cut to fit. Under the cardboard the grille guard had been wrapped in foam. The likelihood of the grille being damaged was very unlikely. On the other hand the Steelcraft only had foam and bubble wrap around it with a thin leather like covering around it all on the outside. Before even unpacking the Steelcraft it could be seen were the corners of the up rights had cut through the wrapping. As mentioned the quality of the grille was poor. There were places where it had not been powder coated, the powder coating on the punch out was sloppy and one of the up rights appeared to have been damaged before it had even been wrapped. The Westin was made of thicker and wider steel. Both grilles were one piece units. The Steelcraft bolted to the frame using vertical bolts, which seemed to me could be sheared off on impact, while the Westin grille bolted on horizontally. Steelcraft looked good the way the upper part of the guard turned inward to follow the upper part of the grille, and the Westin upper part turn outward following the angle of the lower part of the grille. The Westin offered more protection. If you were to hit something the wider spread of the Westin uprights seem like they would protect more. The uprights on the Steelcraft were just powder coated medal, but the uprights on the Westin had a nice rubber strip over them, well suited for pushing another vehicle. The Westin cost more, but worth it. Just make sure you’re very patient and having a pass though socket is a great help since there is very limited room to work under the bumper on the upper bolts. And Steelcraft’s warranty is two years while Westin’s is three years.”

I ordered this grille guard, and it arrived by freight carrier on time. Nice build quality! However it would not fit my particular model of truck. I only figured this out after I took the front of my truck apart. I contacted etrailer for the return and with great difficulty I had to drag the box into my basement to dry out because it rained after I set the box outside thinking I was going to throw it away, I repacked the grille guard, bought straps to secure the thing to the pallet, bought two rolls of packaging tape to repair the box I opened with a razor knife, had to hunt around town for a suitable pallet as the original freight carrier took the pallet with him, enlisted the help of a friend to help me repackage the grille guard, then waited a whole afternoon for the freight carrier to show up for the return because dispatch didn’t call with an estimated arrival time like the original freight carrier did. Now mind you, I’m a 70 year old disabled veteran who’s not supposed to lift more than a jug of milk, but the task at hand was completed. But the build quality of the grille guard was excellent. I would love to add a photo of the completed installation, but I had to send the grille guard back. I do have a photo of it sitting in my garage. Fortunately for me, I have a friends that are willing to help me when I get into a pickle. I have to mention though, that the customer service was excellent, and William deserves to have someone buy him a beer for all of his hard work bird dogging this whole evolution. Thanks William!

We chose this particular guard because we like the design over other brands for the Tahoe application. This is a 2020 Tahoe Premier RST. Grill guards are popular here in rural Texas even on cars and SUVS because they are known to at least sometimes help minimize vehicle damage during highway impacts. Turkey buzzards, hawks, feral pigs and deer are a constant presence on our rural public roads. We like the way it fits and the tubing is even heavier than the Ranch Hand on our farm trucks. We are very happy with this product.

This thing is a beast! I will say the installation on a 2026 needs a new installation video. The directions go up to 2025. It fits the 2026 perfectly but there are a few things that get tricky with the sensor wiring. Had to take it back apart drill holes to get the wires into a place they could be reached. I had an install Tick do the job so not exactly sure what he had to do but I know he had to take it back off and read drill holes. Once one. Bad ass.

Okay, that looks pretty awesome! Definitely worth the extra effort to get it installed. Thank you for letting us know about the instructions, sometimes old instructions still find their way into the box. It's good to know so we can check out our stock.

Great quality, finish is holding up excellent despite abuse. Another bit of information to note: if you have the chrome mesh grill (Denali style) it will require modification and not install per the instructions.

We hit a plastic barrel on the interstate about four months of installation, if it wasnt for the guard would have received well over $4000 in damages. Only pushed the guard back two inches. Worth every single penny!

This hardware is custom fit for a 2012 Tundra and the HDX Grille Guard that comes with the item # 57-2235 kit. I have linked the installation instructions below.

This is a custom fit heavy duty grille guard that has rubber lined uprights that protect your truck finish. It also has a punch plate insert that protects your truck grill from damage. I have attached a photo that shows the grille installed, and the clearance...

- 2013 Toyota Tundra: Westin Grille Guard HardwareThe Replacement Hardware # 40-143PK is for the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard. After using the fit guide I noticed that there is no option for the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard for your 2013 Toyota Tundra. The only Westin grille guard we have is the Westin HDX Grille Guard # 57-2235 and will fit your 2013 Toyota Tundra! It comes with the mounting hardware, but if you needed the replacement hardware, it's part # 57-223PK but isn't the bracket kit you are looking for. I don't have an install...

This kit includes all the needed hardware and custom brackets so you can install the grille guard on your truck (without worrying about hood interference). I have attached the written installation instructions that you can check out as well.

- Can a Winch Tray be Added to Regular Westion HDX Grille Guard on a 2013 Toyota TundraWestin's HDX grille guard for your 2013 Toyota Tundra, # 57-2235, has a horizontal support bar right where the tray would have to go so the tray cannot install this model. Westin's MAX Winch Mounting Tray Item # 46-22235 is designed for your Tundra but it looks like the grille guard will interfere with its installation. This option does have a bull bar (# 46-42235) that can be attached to help keep an aggressive look and for front end protection.

view full answer... - Winch Mount Brush Guard that Fits 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500Since front hitches and brush guards both can't fit at the same time your best option is the version of the Westin HDX grille guard that fits your truck that has a winch mount built into it which is part # 57-93870 which would be a really great overall solution that looks good too.
view full answer... - Can a Front Mount Hitch and Grille Guard Be Installed at the Same Time on a 2013 Toyota TundraGrille guards and front mount hitches normally use the same or some of the same mounting locations and/or occupy some of the same space in front of the vehicle. It is highly unlikely you will be able to install both a grille guard and a front mount hitch. I have included a link to the front mount hitches and a link to the grille guards we have for your 2013 Toyota Tundra. Since these items are going to install on the frame rails of the truck, they would interfere with each other.
view full answer... - Grill Guard Replacement Mounting Hardware for 2010 Ford F-150I may have a solution for you, but the Replacement Mounting Hardware # 57-223PK is hardware for mounting the Westin # 57-2230 and # 57-2235 grill guards designed for 2007-2013 Toyota Tundras. If you have a Westin HDX grille guard like part # 57-2500 or # 57-2505 designed for a 2010 Ford F-150. If you have a different grille guard, please let me know which model you have and I can let you know which mounting hardware kit will work on your 2010 Ford F-150.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Westin HDX Grille Guard Interfering With Hook on 2009 Toyota Tundra CrewmaxThe Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate # 57-2235 should not interfere with your hood once installed. The only available hardware/bracket is the original hardware that came with the grille guard. I recommend reviewing the installation instructions again to make sure the grille guard is properly installed. I would also inspect the hardware and brackets to make sure nothing is damaged or out of place. If the mounting hardware has been damaged, resulting in the grille guard interfering...
view full answer... - Westin Grille Guard for 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Pickup We do not offer a hitch-mount grille guard and in my research I could not find one. I suspect the reason is stability. If a large and heavy grille guard like Westin's Sportsman # 45-1200, which weighs over 110-lbs, were mounted only at a hitch receiver tube it would almost surely damage that hitch. Without multiple frame mounting points the guard would wobble all over the place and be a big distraction as you drive. It sure wouldn't stand up to off-road travel. This stainless steel grille...
view full answer... - Can the Westin HDX Grille Guard be Installed at Home on a 2013 Toyota TundraThe Westin HDX grille guard # 57-2235 fits all models of the 2013 Toyota Tundra so there should be no problem with your double cab 4x4. Installation is straight forward and you can perform this installation at home with hand tools.
view full answer... - Can Westin HDX Grille Guard # 57-2235 for 2012 Tundra be Used as a PusherAccording to Westin, their HDX Grille Guard, # 57-2235 is not designed as a pusher, and would likely be damaged if you attempted to use it to push another vehicle. The guard could be pushed back into your grille and damage your grille. The primary purpose of the guard is to provide protection against incidental contact, but not to protect when intentionally trying to push something.
