    On my 2017 TRD acess cab I have a Westin HDX grill guard. I hit a deer with it and then about a year later it started to squeek and was loose where it mounted to the crossmember. I had it looked at and the crossmember had torn. I had that replaced in March of 2021 and the minor body damaged fixed. The part was replaced with a genuine Toyota part. It started to squeek about a week ago and now is loose. I looked at the cross member and it is cracked where the grill guard bolts to it on both sides. I contacted Westin and they say this has not been a problem. I understand the first one due to hitting a deer. I have not hit anything nor are there any marks on it from someone hitting it while parked. Anyone experience anything like this?
