Got my Ranchhand Grill Guard Yesterday, installed it today....

Sweet!

Pixs are here!

 

Is that honeycomb pattern on the grill guard?

 

Not bad, whats that metal plate in front there? Pretty sure it did, but did it use pre-existing holes in the frame, how sturdy is it?

 

Thanks for posting those pics, Rob. Looks really good! That style grill guard works well with the look of the truck. I'll certainly keep those in mind for when I get around to getting my truck.

Cheers.

 

The installation was completely bolt on to existing holes, although it did require removing three plastic honeycomb pieces from the lower grill -- this was easily done with a hacksaw and looks ok. There is a 1/4" metal brace bolting to the frame, which needs the honeycomb removed.

As to sturdy, all I can say is WOW! The guard bolts to the lower fame, entering to the inside of the tow hooks, and has the upper brackets I mentioned above. I'll post some more pix.

This guard is massive -- it weighs over 100# (117 I think) and when you grab it and try to move it around, the whole truck moves with it!
