TRX Grill on Laramie

[Chicken12]

With more modifications it should definitely fit

I see rebel in the list on eBay but I thought the rebel had a different grill shape.

You pointed out the flaws but it looks great aside from the flaws. You have the textured upper grill piece, in the pictures it looks like a good match. Is it as good in person? The shade of black.

Thanks

Yes it matches perfect. I love the look I’ll be taking it out again and try to get that perfect fit

That sucks this grill doesn’t fit the Rebel because I was thinking about getting this. I bet if you take the bumper off, the grill will fit without modifications but then you would have to get a non-Rebel bumper to keep the grill.

pretty sure it's the trim panel under the headlight that makes it not work

It came and I installed it tonight. I’ll update with some pictures and thoughts tomorrow as long as my day goes well. Tow test coming Saturday. Initially it looks pretty decent. The finish on it is very questionable though. Seems easily scratched. I probably will be wrapping this grille in a silver or gray anyways. Along with some of the other chrome. More to come…

Any update on your progress?

Sorry for the delay! Fitment is good. Finish is questionable but could be fine. I plan to wrap the the border of the new grille anyways and upper chrome piece in a color that will be coming soon. I ran the coolest temps to date pulling my travel trailer. Before at the top of sustained 5-7% grades I’d hit 237 on coolant and 267 on oil. New temps now bounce off 228-230 coolant and stay at 255 oil. I even pushed it harder just for science on last climb and netted 228 and 257 oil, so it’s really staying solid.

Another great effect is the A/C would be warm by the top, now it’s still frosty. Now ambient temps were hotter last pull but not enough to say these results are nil. I also did a day to day comparison towing with old grille on same highway stretch at same temps. Resulted in 3 degree coolant drop and 2 degree oil drop. Doesn’t sound like much but when you get to the top of the grades towing 7500 lbs in the desert that little bump multiply’s. Plus these trucks are just set up to run in that heat range to begin with so we won’t see much change in normal operating temps.

Another piece to the puzzle, I removed my horn at the same time and am relocating it to the bumper. Why they take up any Of the little Realestate there is in that small window to the radiator with the horn beats me. After thought by the trim department. Umm well it fits here… durrr!

Overall very pleased with the results. Next year in the middle of summer will be the real test. The grille is surprisingly decent for the price. It attaches to your main grill frame. So it provides good support to the new grille. Hardest part was those dang Laramie fender flares. Everything else was easy. Hope this was some what insight full to anyone interested. Like I’ve mentioned before my Maine goal was for cooling purposes.

That looks awesome! Almost like it was made for the Laramie and not the Rebel…

Washing my new truck for the first time...nobody noticed this (including me)! Worker must have been hungover or hammered

Off topic but it reminded me when we used to install aftermarket radios upside-down for customers on April fools day.

It sucks that you have to fix that, but that is still hilarious

Worst part is I sent picture to dealership asking about warranty repair on 9/21...still have not scheduled me an appt (Garber RAM in Green Cove Springs FL).

yeah the drop down tells you that. i think it'll fit the laramie/bighorn though.

Looks great. Was hoping someone would have a black one with the color matches front end. I may do this to mine now. Should complement my lift nicely.

Thanks i think it’s the bumper area on rebel that doesn’t let it fit right

could be, i think it's the panels under the hedalights... i'm pretty sure they're different between laramie and rebel. either way, looks great!
