my gutter helmet grill!!!!

[funkingonutz]

$5.00 at Home Depot...better than 35.00 for one at Advanced Auto.
I made cutouts
trimed,bent,and
siliconed it to the back like so.

beats chicken wire anyday

 

[funkingonutz]

ill have a pic of it on the truck later on today....i have to go to bed now before i dont wake up later.

looks sweet, now im gonna do that tomorrow.

Meh.. been there done that.

It's all in the tech library, and all you have to do is bend it to fit. It holds its self on once its wedged against the radiator support. At least that's what I think it is.. it could just be a random big metal thing.

--Edit--

Why does yours look like a dodge style grill with a Ford symbol on it?

 

[PaleBlue90]

his looks to be a gen3

 

[gotmudd]

nice

So is mine, and I've never seen that grill before.

Maybe some random style variation?

Depending on the year there are 3 different grilles for the gen 3. Then your choice of color matched, chrome or grey. 93 has the single upright and lower horizontal. 94-95.5ish has 2 uprights and a centered horizontal 96-97 have a single upright and centered horizontal....these are approx, as we all know how ford liked to change things up....

I know for a fact that that's wrong, mines a 1993 and has the two uprights.
And his is a '95 and has the single/single.

Ok, I'm going on what I've seen over the past 5 years of owning a ranger....93's with the funny grille may be a 4wd only thing......like I said, it was an approx. guess on the years.....

 

[koda6966]

93's with the funny grille may be a 4wd only thing......

That would be why the funny slotted grill says "4x4" on it.

 

[wahlstrom1]

Never got close enough to see it, and any I saw in wreckers were smashed up.....Anyways, there are a few different grilles available in the 3rd gens.

That's what I said in the first place.

--Edit--

And for the sake of anti-threadjacking.. funkingonutz, are you going to keep the color of the gutter guard or paint it to match the color of your truck? I've been thinking about doing it for mine. No clue how it would look though so for the moment I'm keeping the paintless metal color.

 

[dburton07]

I did it too, just duct-taped the bitch on, i dont care

painted my grill black as well, it was the same color as yours AND its the same shape, mines 4x4 and 1993, and my land lord has a different grill than mine and kodas, his is 2wd and i think a 94 or 95

and koda, as far as youre question on paint looks, my friend has a red 99 2wd who did the same mod, painted his grill black and the mesh red, looks awesome. i wish i got a pic but hes in basic training now
