Cover large lower grill opening

[ImBroke]

I got an M2M one also. Mine says USN in the cutout, since I'm retired Navy. I should paint those plastic pieces on either side black as well. The grey seems out of place.

I put on a metal insert on the lower opening of my 2015 2500 within a few weeks of buying it new.  A little dirty right now.  It is a country pickup that just did a road trip to Wyoming.  It has a bug screen over the main grill area also.  Can remove it in winter and snap on a winter front if I feel the need.

I made 1 from pierced metal & painted it. Grille removal was necessary to install. Too bad the bean counters wouldn't let them add a proper grille to the opening.

I bought a piece of painted metal gutter guard from Lowe's and cut to fit. It worked great and blended nicely with the front of the truck.

Backed mine up with galvanized gutter guard from Lowes.  Wire snips to trim it to perfection! Plan to install it tomorrow. I'll post a photo when I do!

Mountains2Metal off Amazon. Several styles to choose from, screws solid.

+1 for mountains 2 metal. Easy solid bolt on install. Just don't do it in 10 degree weather like me. Lots of dropped bolts and expletives.

I use the billet grill kit from ebay. Not sold on the main grill cover, might plastidip the chrome behind it black so it disappears better. I modified the bumper one to fit a light bar mount. 

What light bar mount is that? Thinking I would like to do something like this to mine. Those lights look massive, any idea how big they are?

I built the light bar and the lights are the 9" 225w leds (more diodes that the typical 9" led light). I have actually thought about changing things up again and selling the setup. Would be the bar mount that goes the factory bumper mount (no drilling), the four lights, and the modified billet bumper grill to fit the light bar. 

 

The amount of light these put out is ridiculous and I feel looks better that the typical light bar that everyone has nowadays.

It looks absolutely killer! If you sell it, let me know. Might be interested
