Do it yourself for about $10. Got everything I needed at Home Depot.

Agreed. I bought a piece of stainless steel sheeting with the hole pattern I wanted and just cut it to size and clipped it in. I eventually painted it black.

Sorry to high jack thread. But UKCRD, what bumper is that? It looks good.
Thanks.

I also vote for buying mesh at lowes/HD. I did mine last year and cost me less than $15.00 I think.

I thought about DIY. UKCRD, where did you get the SS sheeting? You said you clipped it on the grille? How did you do that or did you mean you did the zip tie thing?

Dude, save your money. Go to home depot and get a gutter guard. You can get plastic or metal. I got metal so I could paint it. Get 4" zip ties and 1"x1" anchors. 20 min and you'll be done!!

I did the zip tie thing and after about a year the zip tie mounts started breaking loose. I then went with the Rampage bolt-in.

I just went to a metal work shop and they ordered some in for me. Didn't need to tie it in. If you cut it right there are some bits inside the grill that stick out and you can simply clip into those. They hold everything rock solid if you get the cut right.
