I decided to remove the mustache off the front of my hood that has been on there for a while and I'm glad I did, I think my truck looks sharp without it. A little more aggressive maybe but my grille has a few broken mounts and the top edge is warped and you can see it even with the hood closed. I've been wanting to get a new grill for a while but it keeps slipping past me. Which one do y'all run? Thanks!
Like Wesley, I have a Charbroil on the patio that works quite well.
For the truck...
Shortly after purchasing the truck, I painted the worn out and faded grille body color and put an IH emblem in place of the Ford.
I then went to a horizontal grille insert with a new grille that had "chrome" outsides.
I really liked this grille insert and below is a picture from many years ago when we still had our travel trailer.
Another picture of the insert.
We installed a Ranch Hand Legend grille guard and like the utility and appearance it offers. Although, I can not see the beloved horizontal insert very easily any longer, the guard provides enough to leave it in place.
I have since replaced the Ranch Hand emblem with the same IH emblem I have on the grille, but couldn't find a picture quickly to post here.
The grille guard also doubles as a step or topside creeper of sorts when traveling. This was back in 2017 (I think) when we had our first 5th wheel which was a Montana High Country. One of the boots kept popping off due to the OEM modified turbo being worked too hard in order to maintain speed on I-26 headed to the beach.
Running the ranch hand like Sous. She’s had a rough run and still holds up strong. Have used it to push a stuck medium size dump truck without concern.
Just running a new OEM/ Chrome. I will eventually add some kind of mesh/screen to block bugs. I think I replaced my grille in 2018/2019 when i also replaced headlights with new OEM. I'm not a fan of the aftermarket world.

I'd love to have more of those ranch hand bumpers! Is it hard to clean the front grille and headlights with the ranch hand in place? I bet the ranch hand gives you some nice places to stand while working too!
I have really contemplated getting a raptor grille but had a couple guys tell me it looked stupid and somehow it talked me out of getting one at the time. I think it looks awesome! They even have some with little orange running lights built in. Sweet!
