Last piece, the grill. Couldn’t find a used grill, and new grills are like $550-$600. So I bought the Rigid one and put a rough country light bar on it with a little modification. (I couldn’t see myself spending over $1,000 for a light bar) now when I stand back I’m not too sure I like it or not.........

I will be honest with you. It looks awful, but I understand that funds are unlimited. See if you can find some cracked ones in a junk yard, you could glue one together with cracked ones until you can afford or find a decent one. ANything will be better. Awesome job though.

It does look like a Tundra trying to look like a Raptor, but hey, good on you to save money on something that ends up being more functional anyway!
AND - a winch? - Now that's ultra cool! Good job!!!
Keep it up!

Yea since I bought this grill I will have to live with it for time being...... I just don’t know what’s wrong with it...... just doesn’t look right on this truck. But now I’m running into another problem...... I don’t like the stock front bumper anymore........ need something a little better. As for finding a cracked grill I called a few local junk yard and nothing, went on internet search for used parts and a whole bunch of them won’t ship, and the ones that will ship want almost as much for shipping as the grill so in that end buying a new one from Ford will be same price if not cheaper.

yep only good thing about this grill is I now have a super bright lights when traveling around our roads in Montana and Idaho, I can actually see if a deer, moose, elk, or bear is crossing the road. Winch was a sweet gift with the truck, didn’t know if it was working or not, but after buying the hand control, works great!!! Will get me out of some tight spots when needed during hunting or off road in the mountains
