My Billet Grill Install

Ok...So I got my grill in today and Fairbanks (storlied) asked me to write up an install and have pictures so he goes nothin! Also my spelling has been to grate since my crash I had in March 2007 so don't get to upset with it...

stock grill just pulled it in the garage

after removing all of the screws, tool tray and corner lights there are 4 pressure clips holding the grill in 2 of them are under the corner lights and the other 2 you access under the truck

with the grill shell removed from the truck, it would be a good idea to remove the egg crate plastic that is held in with 5 push pins

the grill, ready to cut the center section out

re-assemble grill shell(may want to take the time and clean it well) and step back and enjoy:D



So yeah, sorry for my sloppy typing haha...I'm tired and need to get to bed...I mainly made this for Fairbanks (storlied) and I hope some other people get some help by this...Its really not to bad to install...
