Grille guards

[CrossTimbers]

Is it better to buy and install one yourself or is it more trouble than it is worth and just pay someone else to put it on for you?

[Bullseye07]

they're very easy to put on if you have an extra pair of hands to help you. Even by yourself, it's not too bad.

I installed my plate replacement bumper by myself, wasn't too bad.

I have been lazy.

I installed mine with the help of a neighbor to help hold in place when I bolted mine on. It took about 10 mins to install mine.

I used a fork lift to hold mine in place. Guy from where I worked at the time came around the corner and bumped it off right onto my shins.... Did not feel good. It was easy though

Don't pay someone it's a waste of money. Took about 20 minutes tops, probably take less time if you have instructions.

Use a floor Jack to hold it. Easy peazy

I got my neighbor who is a mountain of a man to hold it in place while I bolted it.

I've done both. Replacement bumper on my Ram I got the best deal shipped to my house so I did that myself. For the grille guard on the wife's Expedition the best price I found was a small shop that installed it for the same price I was going to have to pay to have it shipped ... easy decision.

I installed my Westin HDX by myself. Used a floor jack to hold it in place when it was time to bolt the guard to the brackets.

If it's a full replacement bumber don't forget to use grade 8 bolts with either lock nuts or locktite. I've never had a prob. My buddy on the other hit a deer and it snapped the bolts ( not grade 8).

Thanks for the info, everyone.

Cost me 50 bucks to have my Ranch had installed. Drove out 20 minutes later..

I put one on my truck and a week later a deer ran into the drivers side door!
