I recently came across a used ranch hand grill guard that came off a 2007 FX4 and the holes dont seem to line up with my 2004 FX4. Do you need any special brackets for the bottom mounts? the top mounts go on just fine but the bottom dont. Do I need to remove the lower bumper? I am beginning to wonder if the grill guard is wrong for my truck, but on the ranch hand website they list only one guard for all years from 04-08. Does anyone have any pictures of the installation so I can see exactly which holes I need to use? Thank You.

 

This is my first time i visit here. I found many interesting stuffs in your post. Well-done!
