Hey guys, I have looked at all sorts of grille guards, but I found that the ones I like look like the on in the photo below. I don't need a full size grill guard with light covers and everything, I just want it to mount the lights like in the picture. I have searched some of the manufacturers websites, and all I find is the full size guards, so if you can give specific brand names, type name, or even part numbers that would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

From another thread:


Frontier Extreme is the brand of the one pictured above,

That bumper guard is a little closer to what I am looking for, but I want something small and simple that is basically exactly like the one I had in my picture. I don't really want it to be any bigger than the one in that picture. I have seen two similar to it in town on a couple of newer trucks, but every time I see it I can't get close enough to see any brand labels or anything like that.

You may have to make it, I use to work for an Oil/hydraulic Line conduit company and people were always using the pipe benders to fab up some kick *** brush guards.

that one on the truck above looks like a westin probably for another year F150 modified to fit.

I thought it was a Westin as well, but I tried typing in my truck info and it didn't come up. I didn't even think to try a newer Ford truck. What kind of mods would have to be made? I know that most are made to bolt into factory holes in the frame, and I don't have a problem drilling new holes or simple stuff. I'm already assuming someone is going to say fabricating my own mounting bracket. =(

**Edit - Just found the same one for a 1997 F150. How much different are the frames between the 95, and 97. Easy enough to convert the guard?

I couldn't tell you what needs to be modified without looking at the brush gaurd and looking at your frame and bumper.

You could always check out a 97-03 and compare it to your truck.

I think the 97-03 trucks the frame rails were similar to the 92-96 trucks. I can't tell you for sure because we got rid of our 97 expedition before I got our 92 F250. Personally I have a dodge full brushgaurd that I am modifying to fit it.

Well, thanks for the info! I had a hard time finding that guard, but I got the part number now. I don't know why, but I love the look of it more than a full guard. I don't use mine for anything other than daily in-town commutes, so I don't need anything heavy duty. I guess if the person in that picture can do it, so can I! Now I just need to find out who sells it the cheapest. =P
