i will post pics sometime of that and more of the grill guard. but it just mounts with some channel iron that is in place of the tow hooks and those pieces bolt into where the tow hooks were using same bolts. the pieces then just come straight out from the frame. i am going to brace it with pices that go through the little space inbetween the bumper and grill and then drop down too the frame for extra strength and support.

but if you want a grill guard/bumper that will hold up and not break or bend. build it yourself and do it right. its worth is when you smack a deer going 85 mph and you dont have to worry about your truck getting damaged.
I have a really good idea of what i want i even know pretty well exactly what i will need and the ability... its just that damn initiative hahaha
