Rebel Grill Swap

[raygun9]

Hey Everyone,

Just found this forum, ive been on ramforum and ramforumz for years but for the g5s this one has way more content. Really excited to be on here and have a Gen5. I just got rid of my 2012 Sport and moved into a 2020 Rebel. I was just wondering if anyone successfully swapped out the rebel grill for a sport or big horn one? I love everything about this truck except the grill..

Sorry to hear that. The grill is my favorite part. It's about the only thing exclusive to a Rebel.

But to answer your question, I've heard of it being done both ways. No reason you can't other than what you're willing to spend. At a minimum, you'll need a grill and bumper. There are probably brackets, etc. as well. Some have said you need the panel under the headlights, but not sure.

Its starting to grow on me, my 2012 sport I had for 11 years and loved that truck more than anything... I think I was just sad to let it go.

Both are great trucks. You'll love the Rebel too.

That link to the TRX grill specifically states that it doesn't fit the Rebel.

I haven't found many that do, the TRX grill is amazing....

I prefer the TRX grill over the Rebel grill also, but if it doesn't fit the Rebel, then we need to wait until somebody makes something.

Sorry, I missed that part.

There is a guy on here somewhere that made it fit onto his rebel with a little bit of trimming. But to be 100% honest, the quality of those grills aren't the greatest.
The fit and finish just looked off and the texture of the plastic doesnt match up to the oem plastic on the rebels.

TRX Grill on Laramie

I ordered one the other day. Will install Thursday most likely as long as it arrives on time and looks legit. Plan to do a tow test while we still have this Phoenix heat. That’s my main reason to test this grille out. It’s the most open grille I’ve seen so should help my cooling needs. Your...
