I don't like the Westin bar at all, and its pretty much a toss up between the Randy Ellis bar and the DRC bar. I went Randy Ellis because it is quite a bit cheaper, and you retain the factory tow hooks. I'm not sure if you can keep the tow hooks with the DRC bar.

Nope, mine is still in the box. The old lady has it hiding in my son's playroom. I won't be getting it until next Tuesday (my birthday!). I do know that you need to insert the bar through the bumper opening and kind of roll it into place, if that makes sense. I think it will be pretty obvious once you get started.

What model Hellas did you buy? I have a set of FF1000's (7" light) and will probably get another. I really wanted the Rallye 4000's or the KC Rally 800's but they're $250+ per set. The FF1000's are less than $100 per set on Ebay.

the Randy Ellis bar really isnt too bad to put on, just a bit of a PITA to get to the nuts on the backside of the tow hooks

Unhappy

I hate to bring it up, but the DRC bar is no longer avaliable... It is a great piece though, Greg was a one man show and he passed away a couple months ago or so.

Thanks for the info Ryan. I think most were aware Greg passed, but I wasn't aware it would shut down production.

I think his dad was going to try, but just couldn't do it. Such a shame, he was a great guy.
