TRX Grill on Laramie

[Csjumper2003]

I just ordered this one. Went back and forth with this and the rebel style one. The rebel style one was copied from the the pre 19 rebel grill so decided to go with the Trx style. I see in the pic that there is a hole where it looks like a front camera would mount. Can’t wait to check this out.

You are correct, there is a hole for the camera, but it is missing a required shroud. The factory camera will not just fit in this hole without it sadly. On my Laramie the camera screws into a shroud within the RAM front logo. Without the shroud you cannot use this grill if you have the factory 360 camera system until one is made available septically for this grill.

Epoxy, and a polymer or fiberglass should be able to make some sort of mount when you remove the camera from the shroud.
but maybe where it can be mounted

OK, so grill cam in yesterday. Here is what I think/found. Quality definitely feels cheap. It attaches to the OEM grill shroud so that increases rigidity but it almost has a 3d printed feel. Looks great though. I didn't full install as front camera doesn't fit at all. Mounting screw post using just the camera doesn't fit either and it would be angled horrible/pointed at grill bar if it did. I feel like I need some kind of shroud like my Laramie has for the camera, OEM camera shroud is built into the RAM logo, or a new front camera. Is the Rebel camera different and if so you think it would fit? Any help would be appreciated.

(Oh, I removed the 4 running lights. just two screws each. I wasn't sure about the looks on a Laramie, personally think they look better on a Rebel and fits with that theme better.)

what colors are the RAM letters? is it grey?

Did anyone else installed this grill? more pics?

i cant believe someone hasn't 3d printed a cameras shroud for this one yet. Could definitely sell them from the likes of things

It takes a good amount of work, but the grill will work with the Rebel, but not with the factory bumper

That’s something I’ve been planning to do with my 3D printer for the last year but haven’t gotten around to it. Keep forgetting.

I got one of these in my garage collecting dust. I’ll let it go for $100, locals only because of the shipping price

Did you already sell this? I live in W-S.

With more modifications it should definitely fit t

I just got the ebay TRX looking Grill install the Fitment isn’t very good had to do some modifications.
Cut the side clips of the grill.
Adjust the hood Latch the grill is bit higher so it didn’t wanted to close the hood.
The hood on the sides is a bit lifted still need to do some more mods maybe trim the sides on top of the grill.
They definitely need to do some more work in to it order to get a perfect fit.

This looks great! Were you able to make the additional modifications to make this fit properly? If so, do you have any photos you can share with those additional modifications? The ones you already posted are very helpful!

To those that installed the TRX style grille on a white RAM can you please post up a few more pictures? Thank you.

Had debated this and painting the surround to match the truck

I received this grill and have it mounted to the factory bracket. I getting ready to install it back on the truck and was hoping someone could take pictures of the amber light wiring they did.

Hello Everyone,

I ordered what I believe to be the same grill from Amazon today.

https://www.amazon.com/Front-Compatible-2019-2022-1500-Honeycomb/dp/B0B8ZT861V/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1RVM57CEDJ031&keywords=Front+Grill+Compatible+for+2019-2022+RAM+1500+with+LED+Honeycomb+Upper+Hood+Grille&qid=1669306879&sprefix=front+grill+compatible+for+2019-2022+ram+1500+with+led+honeycomb+upper+hood+grille%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-1

I have a couple questions though.

First, are the RAM letters a dark grey? I’m wondering how close Granite Crystal Metallic they are.

Second, I’m not crazy about the Amber lights, is there a white LED substitute that anyone has seen or tried?

Thanks for your time.

I installed this grille on my truck over the weekend. I would say the color is a darker grey color for the lettering. I wound up ordering some smoked grille lights replacements off of eBay. Here's some white ones that should fit that grille just fine.

(Note: LED lights only, grille not included.). Universal 12V vehicle support. Install it on the front grille of your car, or you can DIY install it elsewhere. 4 Front Grille LED Light. Light Color: white.

Here's a pic of the front end of my truck, I'll have to get a better close up of the lettering for you.

Thanks so much for quick and helpful response! I ordered the lights you sent the link for. I picked up a rattle can or granite Crystal Metallic for O’Reily just in case. The grill is supposed to get here Sunday. I’ll see how motivated I am. I will be installing the Ramair CAI this weekend too.

You’ve got a good looking truck!

Of course. Glad I could help. The lettering comes separate also so you won't have to worry about masking anything off. The only thing that really gave me any trouble was popping the tabs off the mounting bracket that holds the grill on. Oh and the tabs on the trim pieces by the grille can be a pain, I wound up breaking one but luckily didn't affect anything. Other than that it wasn't too bad to put on. I'm going to finish wiring the lights up this weekend once my replacements get here tomorrow. Thank you, I appreciate it. I was looking into those intakes but wound up going with one from AFE. The engine definitely feels more peppy now, plus it sounds great.

I received the grill yesterday and the lights from eBay today. The RAM letters were a great match for the Granite Crystal Metallic color of my truck. I just gave the letters several coats of clear to protect the paint. Unfortunately, the white lights with smoke covers from eBay were too big for the openings on the grill, I probably could have used a Dre Mel to make them work, but I didn’t want to go that route. I considered no lights versus orange lights as I worked to take the factory grill off. Ultimately I decided to stick with the orange lights and I am glad I did. I think the orange lights look good and white ones would have been too much white light in the front. Anyway. Here are some pics. I’ll get a daytime pic tomorrow.

I love the look of this without the letters. Once the sting of wheels and tires wears off my wife's mind, i'm going to pick one up.

Looks freaking sweet on your truck. The amber is growing on me too. I haven't tried to install those lights yet. I haven't even taken them out of the shipping package yet. I don't think I'm brave enough either to cut up the grille to make them fit. I apologize for them not working. I didn't even notice they were a different size. The one issue I ran into with the letters is the mounting tape wasn't the greatest on one of the letters so I wound up getting some 3M tape from AutoZone to replace it. What did you wind up taping into for the lights? I wound up running the ground to one of the factory grounding points and the power to the positive side of the fuse for the trailer running lights. That way it's removable just in case anything happens anyways.
