Default Grill Guard with Front camera
I've posted this before, and no one had an answer. Thought I'd ask again. Any idea if they make a grill guard that will relocate the front camera so you can still use it?

Bump. I'm really surprised as long as this new model has been out that no one else has come across this issue. Is this really too "one off"? No one that has a front camera is running a grill guard of any kind?

You have any pics of it installed? I was wondering about this, too... Thanks.

Yeah, I'd really like to see this as well. I assumed the mesh on the front of a grill guard like a ranch hand or Westin HDX would block the camera way too much

You can see blue big box on pictures for example.

Thanks for the pics. It's not as bad as I expected, but it would still be nice to be able to relocate it to the front of the grill guard to give the intended visibility.

I was thinking of doing a grill guard and leaving the screen off so it wouldn't block the camera. I have used frontier grill guards on my other trucks and liked them.

Leaving the screen off would decrease the effectiveness of the guard. I can't tell you how many times my ranch hand has saved the front of my truck from random crap on the DFW roads.
