Just wanted to show you guys the before and after coming from an XLT grill, to a lariat grill. I also added chrome mirro caps!

 

You still have your old grill?

 

I sure do!

 

I have a xlt with a different grill and liked the look of that one better, so if you are interested in selling it, pm me

 

Looks good!

You should do the KR bumper caps too

 

What are KR bumper caps?

 

That looks really good. Did you get the OEM mirror caps?

PTM caps over the chrome bumper the ends of the front bumper

 

No I just bought some chrome slip on's on eBay! They were a lot cheaper than the OEM mirror caps, and they hold up very well.

 

Oh ok. I never even noticed the painted bumper caps!

 

Nice upgrade Brad. looks great! I just brought home a new King Ranch and am taking having the front bumper (center chrome area) wrapped in the Caribou match to the end caps. I think it will help with the flow of the front end better as Im not a fan of the grille area flowing down into the bumper. That lariat grill is almost identical to my King Ranch grille with the exception that the grill (background) is painted in Caribou to match the lower accent and wheels.

Question, when you changed out the grill did you just change out the "skin" or remove/replace the entire unit...hope that makes sense as I added a Harley grill to an '05 Lariat and had to change skins by (carefully) undoing all the plastic tabs that hold the chrome piece to the grill frame.

Not being a chrome fan, I'm considering changing out my KR grill for the Platinum grill...will wait to see how the bumper comes out first.

 

Wow congrats on the new KR! I hope my answer makes sense.. So I had to take off the whole unit, the grill itself and the stuff that's bolted on to the back of it. I took the one that came with my truck and put in on the back of the new grill. Installation was kind of tough because some of the tabs kept falling down into the wholes, and with it being 105 degrees here, I wasn't having it haha. I hope that answers you're question!

 

Brad, it does and thank you. Appears it is a similar process to what I did with my '05 Lariat. Remove the entire unit, then you switch out the outer grill cover. Those plastic tabs are not easy to remove and you have to be very careful as they break very easily...that part I learned the hard way!!

 

Just wondering how a "Reverse King Ranch" accent combo would look on your truck...my KR is Shadow black with your same color (Caribou) accent trim along the sides/wheel well flares/rear bumper and front bumper caps...not sure how that would look but you'd have one unique truck! FWIW, you can get the factory colors in spray cans. I have a guy, PM me if you want his contact information...

 

Wow ok thanks!
