Question:

is it bolt on or needs drilling? how many attachment points? will Warn 12,000Lb VR EVO fit? Any other pieces needed? do all sensors lights and tow hooks still work?

Hey Alan, the Westin HDX grille guard part # W95EC does not require drilling to install, will work with your Warn winch, comes with all mounting hardware needed, but will not work with your front end sensors and the tow hooks will need to be removed. It attaches to the vehicle frame with 6 bolts.

Thx Jameson, does the grille guard have built in tow hooks?

@AlanH It does not, which is odd because in the installed picture on the product page there are some and there are what looks like cut outs in the winch tray for them to poke through.

@JamesonC Yes the photo looked like tow hooks were part of it. So I ordered. If there are no tow hooks we should cancel the order… sorry

@AlanH So I found that you can have the tow hooks added to the tray with the part # 46-3005. Does that solve the problem for you? I realize it's an extra cost which is annoying.
