I did a search and couldn't find the answer. I finally got around to installing my new grills that I was given for my birthday. The upper went on without too much difficulty, but the lower one, which seemingly should take about 10 minutes I can't get on at all. Problem A, my arm is too big to really reach behind the existing grill on the driver side of the truck. I can squeeze it in, and if I had an allen socket, I could probably get that side, but I see no way to get the other side on, With the tranny radiator in the way, it's impossible to get to the back of it, and there are some steel bracketry on the bottom of the truck that prevents me from going underneath.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Hey. Pop the hood and snake your arm in form the top best you can. I scraped myself up and cussed a bit, but it is doable. Get sopmeone with smaller arms if you can't get yours in, but I'm good size and could do it with some effort.

 

I'm pretty sure if I'll be able to get the drivers side, but what about the other side? With the tranny cooler there, nobody can get their arm in there. I'm sure someone here bumped into this same problem.

I had to get my wife to do it for me. They was no way I could get my arm in there but hers was small enough she could JUST squezze it in there. I wish there was a magic answer to make it easy but if there is I couldnt find it.

 

That's what I ended up doing, had the fiance' do it. She bought it for me anyway It looks SWEET!
