AGENCY TESTIMONIALS My 2016 Chevrolet Tahoe is equipped with a Westin push bumper. In July I was responding to a serious motor vehicle collision therefore, I was traveling 80+ mph with my lights and siren ac- tivated. A deer entered the roadway and I had no time to take evasive action to miss the deer, nor would it have been safe to do so. I struck the deer with the front end of my vehicle. The vehicle sustained minor damage considering the speed I was traveling. In fact, when it was stated I struck a deer, co workers were asking where the damage was because most of the damage was not no- ticeable until pointed out. I feel your push bumper saved the vehicle from tremendous damage given the speed I was travel- ing. It very well may have made the deer strike safer for me by preventing the deer from coming up and over the hood into the windshield. Numerous coworkers are in agreement the vehicle's damage would have been much, much worse and possibly even totaled the vehicle if it weren't for the push bumper's performance. Jason Graves, Corporal ST. MARY'S COUNTY SHERIFF We just installed the first Westin push bar on a 2013 Dodge Charger. The install was easy and simple to do, so, my techs are really happy about that. Many thanks from them! The modifications are minimal to the grill and the bumper. Kudos to the design team! This is a huge benefit when it comes to installation and labor costs. The bumper seems to be real sturdy, when you try to move the bumper it actually just moves the entire vehicle instead of just the bumper. I also appreciate the fact that you were able to design it using Federal Signal equipment. It's important to keep all of my lights with one manufacturer so I dont have to stock a lot of different lights for repair. Most importantly it looks really, really cool. It just has a really tough and intimidating look to it. I look forward to getting some put on my Ford Interceptors! Tony Gonzalez, major NEW MEXICO STATE POLICE One of our customers (Saskatoon Police) has just started putting Westin bumpers on their cars. One of their Ford SUVs got rammed repeatedly by the driver of a stolen truck that they were trying to stop. They figured about $800 damage to this vehicle, mostly because of the broken headlight module. More importantly, the vehicle was NOT disabled so they could continue the chase and eventually caught the guy. The stolen truck also rammed another Ford UI a few times and that one did not have a Westin pushbumper on it. $4800 damage to the vehicle, and the vehicle's radiator failed due to the ramming so the vehicle was out of the chase. They were impressed at how well it stood up to the abuse. They are now asking for pricing for 30+ pushbumper assemblies to outfit their entire fleet.
