Westin Safari Bar Install Help

gnielsen8 · May 21, 2013

hi guys, i got a westin safari bar for my birthday and went to install it today and it proved to be a royal pain. the little clips that hold the front sway bar skid plate on are impossible to get off, i had to drill them out, and once i got them out, the provided bolts on the installation kit didnt fit. they're all pretty rusted but one of them fit, but the others wont even thread, so will i have to rethread the holes to fit the bolts or am i screwed.

thanks!

I had the same problem when I installed my hunter bull bar the first time I ended up having to go to lowes and get new bolts that had a different thread on them. I called the company that I got it from and they refunded me 40 dollars not bad considering the new ones from lowes were only like 7 dollars.

i got a tap and die set and the bolts it came with were M10-1.50 so ill try and rethread the current mounting holes tomorrow and hopefully that works

after many headaches and attempted rethreading, i took it to my local shop and had them do it. great product but the install is ridiculous unless you have better luck than i did

what bolts ended up fitting without re-drilling and re-tapping?
