Westin Bull Bar Mounting Bracket

[jph1984]

Hi everyone,
I'm a professional industrial designer and a owner of a 2019 Ford Ranger XLT Sport. I've already done a few small modifications on my truck, including installing a front 2.5-inch leveling kit, swapping the wheels for a set of Bronco take-offs with 1.25in spacers and a backrack.

I'm planning to acquire a used Westin bull bar, but it didn't come with the mounting hardware. I know the official Westin installation kit is part number 75-31398, but finding just the brackets online is proving to be quite a challenge.
Before I sit down at my desk to measure, reverse-engineer, and model a custom set of brackets from scratch to laser-cut them, I wanted to check with this awesome community. Has anyone here ever fabricated their own brackets for this specific Westin bull bar and shared their CAD files, DXF blueprints, or detailed dimensioned drawings?
If nobody has the manufacturing plans available, I would also greatly appreciate any leads or tips on where I might be able to buy just the replacement mounting kit (75-31398) without having to purchase a brand-new bull bar.
Thanks in advance for your help and insights!

I emailed Westin customer support and asked them about the install mounting kit for the bar in 75-31398. This is there answer:
Hello,

The bracket kit for 31-3985 is available. This would be part number 31-398PK and has a cost of $109.50 plus any applicable taxes. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you.

31-3985 is the Bull Bar for the instructions 75-31398. You can order it from Westin. I need the brackets themselves so I think I'll order this too.

Hi nolan62,
Thanks for sharing that update! I actually found myself in the exact same boat and managed to score the same Westin bull bar used on Marketplace for $100.
Following your post, I reached out to several online suppliers and even contacted Westin customer support directly. They ended up referring me to a Canadian distributor to try and secure the 31-398PK bracket kit, but I haven't received any response from them and I'm still completely unable to get ahold of this mounting kit online.
If you ended up purchasing the kit, would it be possible for you to take some precise measurements or sketches of the brackets and send them my way? As an industrial designer, I can easily reverse-engineer them and laser-cut a custom set from your dimensions, so it would be a massive help!
It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

People still put them on? Every one I’ve ever seen is a pile of rust.

JP, did they direct you to PartsEngine.ca? I know they sell Westin products - maybe they can help - maybe not. Good luck.

I finally got the parts. It wasn't Westin's fault. FedEx got the package all the way to Duluth, GA and someone decided to send it to Portland, OR. So I had to wait for it to come all the way back. It got the scenic route! I don't have a Westin bar. I bought a Spoiler/Chin bar from a company in the UK. But I found out the UK version of the Ranger has a slightly different frame setup then ours. I have been looking for mounting brackets and I think Westin will work. This is the email address I used and the reply I got from Armando. He's very helpful. Contact him if you want to buy them.

I will take pictures and measurements of the brackets later today when I get home.

Wow, that's quite a scenic route for a package! Glad to hear you finally received it safely despite the FedEx detour.

Thank you so much for the update and for offering to take the pictures and measurements. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. I'll keep an eye out for your next post and look forward to seeing the dimensions.

Thanks again!

Fair enough! Luckily, I managed to find one in great overall shape on Marketplace (100$), and my plan is to sandblast it and apply a Line-X treatment afterwards to make sure it stays rust-free for a long time.

Sorry, I got home late. Here is one of the brackets. The other is a mirror image. Let me know if these pics are ok.
