2001 Front end update.

Grille update on my 2001. I used the MKM Customs modified grill and got some clear corner lamps off of ebay at the same time. This is just too easy of an upgrade for anybody to be scared of. Total of twenty minutes. Highly recommended of you want to update your beater. Totally different truck now.

I went with the MKM on my 04. Did you find the grille didn't fit very well on the bottom? Mine rubs the bumper on the ends and squeaks a little. It does look good though. Next, you may want to look at some clear headlights. I got a set for my 99 from ebay for about $100 and it really finished off the frontend. Good Luck

No rubbing on mine. But I do have a pretty good size gap between the body and bumper. I'm actually thinking about moving the bumper up a little to make the gap smaller.

That's a good idea. Maybe I need to move my bumper down a little.

your bumper mounts are slotted so you can loosen the bolts and lower your bumper. i think you can adjust it a full inch.
