Default Winter grill cover?

Anyone know where I can order a winter grill cover for my 04 FX4? Was thinking of just going the DIY route, but too much on the go right now and would just be easier to order one.

Thanks

Canadian company. Never purchased from here. Double check if correct part number and if actually in stock.

i saw someone selling one (used) recently that was an official 'Ford' branded one. But it was for a f350, so you might be able to track down one from ford, might be pricey. fwiw, guy was asking $75 i think.

Recall sometimes seeing simple cardboard covers during winter, wouldn't take too long to try it out that way.

Just curious, what are the benefits? getting up to operating temp faster?

​​​​​​​I ordered one from the link above already and yeah to hit operating temperature faster when warming up and also to keep snow/slush spray from hitting my belt and making it squeal.

​​​​​​​Thank you though brother

Doesn't the rad block spray from getting to belt?

I know there are tons of variables, but since i think you now run and edge, maybe you could post back to this thread with your temp observations before/after running the cover?

​​​​​​​Yah I can absolutely do that and it's mostly the blowing snow that gets to the belt especially when passing vehicles kick up the fresh snow.
