I like the grill but not the bumper openings. But I may be biased cause I'm used to seeing my winch there.

Sparky at the moment it's rigged. I was considering something like the 08 super duty or navigator 99 to pull the release hook. For now I have some wire attached to it. Hidden unless you are looking for it.




What's wrong with the cooler lol. I want to paint it black but it might loose cooling* effect

Well I figured out the gap. Very close if not the same as the upper. The upper is dull as the truck has been sitting for 6 months needing an engine. I have inserted one and was getting some small details in the engine bay sorted out. When all of a sudden I laid my eyes on this grille I have been trying to sell on fb, with little luck. So I hacked away. Its basicly a threaded rod with aluminum spacers. Was just messing around asked my wife for her co sign and she rubbed it off. That is when I came to you guys.

Tomorrow depending on the weather I should be cranking it up

I like it. I would lose the license plate bracket. Jegs sells paint just for radiators and coolers that doesn't effect cooling. I believe it's $12 a can.
