Companies nowadays don't do nearly the project research as they once did. Back in the day they would put the parts on the vehicle instead of placing the part on a blueprint or cad drawings, not to mention the horrible QC overseas. Any part company with a physical retailer also do it so you have to pay to service it rather than doing it yourself..

My fisher was 2 bolts. I used the original bolt on the tow hook no drilling required. I'm sure the older western mounts are the same. Now I know the newer ones are not as simple

There were 4 bolts on each side on my old trucks. Used holes already there. No problems with them ever.

Any reason you can't drill those all the way through the frame instead of dealing with the flat stock bolts? I'm getting ready to install this on my truck, but it seams like an extra pain. Especially if you already have to drill the holes
@mossman381

Without support inside the frame you will probably bend it. I think Western added all the bracing because the frames on these newer trucks is being made out of thinner metal. I would stick to what the directions say.

I don't really like the idea of that flat stock sticking out of the frame. Seems overly built. The frames are suppose to be stronger but yet they have more supports on the mounts than the older trucks.

Yea drilling those is no fun and it not ideal when you paid for a mount for that specific truck. I run Boss but thinking about trying a western wideout. Saw one at the dealer and they look high quality.

It wouldn't have been so bad if the mount holes would have lined up. It does seem a bit overbuilt when I compare it to the older mounts that have worked fine.

If I could have talked to them during this install I would have given them a piece of my mind. $500 mounts that I have to modify. This is becoming so much more common with "every" company. Your Boss, Fisher, Snoway, Snowdogg, will have the same issues. You can either complain about it or shut up and fix it yourself.

The top bumper cover has to come off on this truck to get the headlights out. So much for just pulling a pin to get them out like they use to. The front end will come off for the wiring.

All the extra support must be to transfer the stress to more area of the frame. The older stuff worked fine. I don't think I have ever heard of a mount failing. To me it looks like someone over thought the whole thing.

mossman381 yeah, it does. I have never heard of one failing either but maybe they had complaints that we don’t know about. My 05 Yukon xl plows a heck of a lot of snow and never had a problem.
