well - bolt-over is pretty self-explanatory -

replacement - though is a little different, some people talk about cutting the original and using the trim, some use don't use the original at all - i think???

how do the different types work is my real question - b/c if i put in a new grill, i would want a complete replacement, not a bolt-over or a cut and fit one

 

To the best of my knowledge, no one is making a complete replacement. I think you're stuck with the current "surround" ... beit chrome or body-colored.

 

There coming out with a complete replacement made by a company, I think the name is RTD but im not exactly sure. Ive been talking to my 4wd shop about it They keep telling me theyll be in next week but that was 3 weeks ago. They said the price is $550. Ive been really researching this grille thing Im going with the new precision grill called the phat billet, check it out on their website. From what they say its the thickest billet grill made and theres no cutting you just pop out the center of your factory grill and drill some holes.

 

If the "phat billet" grill is the same one I was looking at, you can buy it for $169.95 from stylinconcepts.com. You may want to re think your choice of loca dealer 4x4 shop.

While reading a post on http://FTW.TruckMoxie.com, someone said Roadmax Automotive had a complete replacement grille available. It has a "Chrome Metal Grille Shell w/ 8mm Polished Billet Insert." I have no idea how much nor where to buy. I guess you could use the info on their "Contact Us" page and ask.
