We are looking for comments on the Westin Bull Bar. We have a Setina full push bumper that was ordered to go on the truck but wanted to try out the Bull Bar option to start with. Its a bit "lower profile" but does not seem to offer the same protection a full PB is going to provide.

Thoughts...comments??

What is on the bottom of the push bar? It almost looks like a number of small LEDs.

**twodogs603** · February 22nd, 2012, 09:10 AM

Looks like a louvered belly pan..allows air flow..

**RES347CUE** · February 22nd, 2012, 09:18 AM

Looks nice

No Feniex products this time around?

No...we opted to leave Feniex off the demo vehicle.

We have been having ongoing quality control issues with some of the Feniex items and I now question the long term durability and dependability of their Python and T-4 products.

You can get a "mid grille" setina push bumpers. I think it'd look better than that bull bar. Heres the part number

Looks good. Don't know about that push bar though. Is that something from the factory or who makes that low profile one?

i believe westin makes that bull bar.

They are for looks. We had one on a demo and the sales Rep driving it decided to test it in a 5-10 MPH bump and tore it up.

**TraFx** · February 22nd, 2012, 11:05 AM

Totally agree....they are mainly for looks especially this model...

If anything in in my opinion it just adds another place for an extra set of lights (if that).

This one is a Westin and for what we paid for it we could have gotten the Setina Mid-Height....so it may come off and the other one may go on.

**TraFx** · February 22nd, 2012, 06:55 PM

Added some quick videos from this afternoon....have some pics of the cargo slide as soon as I can get them uploaded

**5309** · February 22nd, 2012, 06:59 PM

looks good.. cant wait till you sell these lights off this demo

**NotNormalEnterprisesLLC** · February 22nd, 2012, 07:04 PM

We used ours to demo a 10" and a pair of 4" rigid led bars.

**MEVS06** · February 22nd, 2012, 07:35 PM

Nice truck, I would use a ranch hand pb but that's just me.

**Flashguy** · February 22nd, 2012, 09:33 PM

Looks really good! Normally demo's are overkill, but this is a nice install. I'm impressed with those dual ghosts!

**Luismariadarlene** · February 22nd, 2012, 10:13 PM

looks awesome and like morin sed a Ranch hand full replacemnt will look awesome

Here are a few pics of the Troy Console and the Cargo Slide

We were opting for the the wide body Troy Console on this install but decided to move this one over from the Tahoe. We are building a custom demo box to fit inside the cargo slide that we can put in and out on sales calls that has our other light bars, light heads, controllers, etc mounted on. It will have a quick connect that will plug in at the base of the passenger side "C" post.

The Cargo Slide was a relatively easy install but it was a bit time consuming....took about an hour and a half since we had not done one before. Jotto somehow left out a cross member support and one slat of the aluminum flooring but after calling them they shipped it out to us express. The slide is great quality...the in and out motion is smooth. There is no vibration at all and overall I really like it. The interesting part was that we got it several hundred dollars cheaper from autoaccessoriesgarage.com than we could get it from our Jotto distributor.

We have had several ask why we went with the GMC and not a Tahoe. It came down to what was available to us and we wanted something a little "different". We wanted to be comfortable on the road. So a little blend of form...and function.

Can you show a video from the side with the lights on, I'd like to see how those came out.

**bwoodruff** · February 23rd, 2012, 02:20 PM

I like your install, especially the console.

I am not a fan of the bull bar or the new look of the Yukon. Like the 2012 Tahoe better.

Yep....will try and replace the videos today with HD versions and get some from the side.

We are putting the LED3s on the running boards today since we finally got them in from SOS.

Yea...I think the Bull Bar may have to come off....is made more for looks than usability and protection. Oh well....it was worth a try.

The new Troy Consoles are awesome....its all we are installing now unless a customer specifically asks for another brand.

Great looking install, what part of SC are you in?

**firefightin6** · February 24th, 2012, 12:19 PM

I think it looks real good!

**Dave@P1** · February 24th, 2012, 12:23 PM

We did installs on 3 2011 GMC Yukon Denali's. They're great trucks. The install looks good! I'd prefer a Setina push bar owe the bull bar (just my preference), but a very solid install. What made you steer away from the Tahoe? What did you end up doing with it?

Thanks

Its the CC-TMC-25.....25" plus we added the external lock box to the rear so it adds about 4" more to the length.

**RBRONKEMA GHTFD** · February 26th, 2012, 09:59 AM

What are those little red and black push buttons for on the back of the console? Patterns?
