Love the new grille guard. Very heavy duty construction and looks great! My wife has had one on her truck for several years and loves it too. Weather's very well.

Review from a similar Westin HDX Grille Guard in Grille Guards


Receive it yesterday and installed it. If it wasn't for the garbage stainless steel hardware it would have been a faster simply install. I had the 2 bolts, the only 2 I tried to close up the gap lightly with a short wrench pull threads and get stuck before it was even tight. I couldn't back it out or get it tight So I had to unbolt the brackets and pull it all off and cut the bolts with a sawzall. Then I replaced all the hardware with 1/2 inch grade 8 flanged bolts and nuts. Save yourself the trouble and junk the hardware that comes with it and get 8 hardened bolts uptown.

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.”

Amazing product. Westin always struggles with clear and easy to follow instructions. etrailer online install video is always the reliable go to.

Review from a similar Westin HDX Grille Guard in Grille Guards


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.

Review from a similar Westin HDX Grille Guard in Grille Guards


I like to think my Westin Grille Guard is the best compared to some of the others I have seen on the road. I have the polished stainless and I do not see one bit of rust or discoloration. I do wish though that the bolts that hold the grille onto the truck were polished stainless or came with caps to cover the zinc oxide bolts that are used for the installation.

Comments
It has been over a year now and my Westin Grille Guard still looks like the day it came out of the box. The truck stays outside 24/7/365 in upper NY state. I bought it to protect my front end against deer hits, but the deer seem to stand at the side of the road admiring how good my guard looks. Now I am thinking about ordering the Westin 6 HID light kit to improve night time driving. I certainly would recommend Westin to anyone looking for aftermarket products.

Review from a similar Westin HDX Grille Guard in Grille Guards


After ordering the grille guard I wondered how it would be delivered as I have a long driveway with no turn-around. I called etrailer and made them aware of my driveway situation. They gave me the number to the shipper and we were able to meet up less than two miles from my home. I was really impressed with the way my grille guard was packaged. The installation went smoothly for the most part. The illustration pictures included with the instructions were a bit confusing at first. After scrutinizing the diagrams I was able to finish the installation. Since the grille guard was to much to handle for one person, I used a block and tackle hung from my garage roof rafter and had my wife steady the grille guard as I installed the bolts. Torquing the nuts was a bit of a challenge due to the limited access space. Also, after the installation was completed, I had a hard time opening the hood due to the limited space to access the horizontal hood latch. The top of the grille guard sits a bit higher than the truck's grill and the hood release space. Finally, after succeeding in opening the hood, I drilled a hole in the horizontal latch, installed a zip tie in the hole, and now can pull the zip tie horizontally to release the latch. The grille guard appears to be sturdy. If it keeps my headlight and factory grill intact after a deer strike it is money well spent. Price a headlight assembly and grill for a 2019 Ford F250 and I'm confident that you'll agree with me. The only added cost for me was buying an 18mm socket. I've received many compliments already on the grille guard.

It has a few chips in the chrome when I received the grille guard. Not sure if it was for the warehouse or shipping. Also there is a little rust starting at one of the welds. Still very happy with the grill guard.

Great Grill Guard. It was very easy to mount and we added a heavy duty winch. It really changed the look of the truck. Holding up really well with no rock chips or fading still looks brand new!

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.

  • What Grille Guard do You Recommend for My 2003 Chevrolet Silverado?
    When it comes to mounting secondhand grill guards to your 2003 Chevy Silverado from a Silverado 2500, it truly depends on what specific brand and model number of the grille guard in question. This is because grille guard manufacturers specifically produce grille guard models and mounting hardware for specific years/makes/models of vehicles. With that being said, even if we did confirm that your Westinghouse grill guard will fit your 2003 Chevy Silverado, we unfortunately do not carry any...

  • Do Punch Plates Cause Cooling Issues for a Transmission
    Punch plates on grille guards like the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate, part # 57-1915, have more of a mesh style to them. This allows more airflow than a solid surface. Of course, you will still need to monitor your transmission and engine. If you notice that your transmission is getting too hot (probably if you have an older one), then you can use one of our transmission coolers. I've linked to a list of our coolers that are compatible with your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado. If...

  • Will the Westin HDX 57-1915 Fit On My 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic 1500
    The Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate # 57-1915 is designed to fit on the 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic 1500 HD, so as long as you have the HD version this grille guard will fit. If you have the LD, it will not fit on your truck regardless of modifications because of the different mounting points that are available on the LD truck compared to the HD truck. Grille guards are designed to be vehicle specific because of the different mounting points across different models and makes and...

  • Replacement Mounting Bracket Kit for Westin HDX Grille Guard 57-1915
    Yes, the replacement hardware kit for the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate # 57-1915 is found as part # 57-191PK on our site. Please note that grille guards and mounting brackets are vehicle specific so for this combination to work you need to have one of the following models: 2003 - 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 HD 2003 - 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 LD 2007 - 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic 1500 HD

  • Westin HDX Grill Guard Brackets that Fit 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500
    The hardware kit you'd need for a Westin HDX Grille Guard that fits a 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 would be the part # 57-191PK as the correct fitting guard for your truck is the # 57-1915. You should note that both the guards and the hardware kits are made to fit specific vehicles so you can't swap a guard from one vehicle to another just by swapping hardware.

  • Replacement Mounting Brackets for a Westin HDX Grille Guard on a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
    Well the bad news is, they really don't. Identifying grille guards is not a fun task, unless you know the make/model of the grille guard already. It is a little easier if you know what vehicle the grille guard came off of (the year/make/bodystyle). It has to be pretty much off of the exact same vehicle you are wanting to use it on. That is because the mounting hardware for grille guards is specific to both the grille guard and vehicle. According to the manufacturer the Westin HDX Grille...

  • Westin Grille Guard For 2007 Chevrolet Silverado Classic 1500
    If your 2007 Silverado Classic is a Light Duty model then the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard, part # 40-1175 is a confirmed fit for your truck. If your truck is a 1500 Heavy Duty model, the grille guard that is designed to fit is the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate, part # 57-1915. Both of these kits require no drilling for installation and include the mounting hardware.

  • How to Determine if a 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic 1500 is an LD or HD
    The "LD" stands for light duty for the 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic. There was also an HD that had the rear axle/suspension of the 2500 series. An HD would have 8-lug wheels. Yours look like 6-lug wheels which would mean it is an LD but since they are aftermarket wheels I can't be 100 percent sure. The HD models also came with recovery (tow) hooks as standard equipment. The sales code for the HDs was 15743. The HD models also had rear brake rotors that were 13 inches in diameter and 1.14...

  • Grille Recommendations for a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    I have several grille guard options for your 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, however, the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard, # 40-1245, was only designed to fit the 2500HD and 3500 Series models. If you have the light duty model, I recommend looking at the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard, # 40-1175. Westin does not offer the Sportman grille guard for the heavy duty models, but they do offer their HDX Grille Guard, # 57-1915. The HDX is also available for the light duty models as part # 57-1175....

  • Replacement Bracket Kits for Westin Grille Guards on 2003 Chevy Silverado
    Do you know the manufacturer and part number of the grille guard you have? The difficulty with getting a hardware kit for grille guards is that not only is the hardware kit specific to the vehicle, the grille guards themselves are vehicle specific. So, unless you know for a fact that you have a Westin or an Aries grille guard that came off first generation Silverado, the grille guard you purchased won't work with the hardware. The hardware will fit the truck, but the bracketry won't match...
