U-Guard vs. Westin Bull Bars
Which Set of Bull Bars Should You Steer Towards
When you’re looking to make a purchase for your vehicle that’s really going to make a statement, how do you make that important decision? Does price trump all else or is it quality? Do you focus on performance and reliability or style? Do you lump all of these factors together to find the absolute best product out there? Whatever the answer is, having more choice in the buying decision means you’re more likely to find the item that meets your specific needs.
Canadians want value for their money, and rightfully so. We work hard for the things we want, so when we make a purchase, we expect the best in terms of quality, price and after purchase service.
When it comes to purchasing Bull bars for trucks and SUVs, more and more Canadians are buying U-Guard and Westin brand products. With so many brands out there flooding the market, what makes these two brands so special?
U-Guard Bull Bars
Canadian based and operating out of Markham, Ontario, U-Guard builds their Bull bars from top of the line stainless steel. Offered in both 3” and 4” tubular designs and available for most of today’s trucks and SUVs, each Bull bar is custom built to fit your vehicle’s specific make and model.
Each Bull bar features no drill installation, which means your time isn’t spent reading pages of instructions and installing the hardware, it’s spent behind the wheel—and let’s face it—that’s where you want to be!
Included in the Bull bar kit—detachable and replaceable stainless steel skid plate which means you can drive over curbs, rocks and stumps knowing that your front end has added protection from damage in areas with low ground clearance.
U-Guard has an inhouse team of engineers to design a Bull bar suitable for the often challenging driving conditions in Canada. So how do we know their design is so good? Well, how about an overall product return rate of 0.5%? Ask yourself, when was the last time that you bought something that was 99.5% PERFECT? Never? Almost never? The point is, Canada; U-Guard Bull bars protect what they’re supposed to protect and look the damn good while doing it.

So What About Westin Bull Bars?
When people ask “Why Westin?”, the answer that comes back is simple. Westin’s reputation speaks for itself. Over 30 years of experience selling quality truck and SUV accessories and a strong customer satisfaction rate with reviews praising the simplicity of installation, as well as the look and quality of the product.
Like U-Guard, Westin offers a 3” diameter tubular design made of high end steel for their Bull bars, however in addition to the stainless steel finish, they offer a powder black finish. This provides a more subtle look without diminishing it’s visual appeal.
Like the U-Guard Bull bar, Westin Bull bars are fabricated to offer no drill installation for ease of setup. They also come with pre drilled to accommodate auxiliary lights up to 5.57” in diameter.
