Guys and gals, since I lowered the truck the guard just don't look right. Anyone live in or near NC can have it for 200.00 and I'll even throw in the KC Daylighter (100.00)with it. This brush guard is identical to the Manik (black powdercoated and 1 piece)and frame mounted and it is 5 months old and I paid over 400.00 for it(500.00 with the lights). The guard is in excellent brand new shape since the truck is garaged everynight. The thing is too heavy and huge to ship. steve

Doc, how you're doing? I just checked the Smittybilt application guide and it won't fit your 99 at all, completely different part number. It will fit only 97 and 98 only.
Sorry about that. steve

Thanks for checking for anyway. I wonder if the difference is the brackets, or is the shape in the bumper area the problem. Doc

The grille guard will fit 97 and 98 2wd only.
To fit the 4wd tow hooks must be taken off.
Thanks. steve
