Grillcraft install, a picture book!!!!

Hi all,
I know a lot of people have posted install instructions for grilles but sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. This install is a Grillcraft MX grille but a lot of the details will apply to any grille. Hope it helps somebody.

WOW... great job! They look awesome. I have been wanting to install these to replace the 1pc TRex covers I have now for both the upper and lower.

Re: Grillcraft install, a picture book!!!!

Was talking to a fellow Titan owner at work today and hadn't seen him in a while, long story short is: Titan totaled, replaced by Armada, couldn't live without the Titan, new Titan replaces Armada...anyhoo I noticed he had gotten a billet grille on the new Titan and I asked if he had any problems installing. Response was cost him 75 bucks to install on top of grille price which was too high in the first place. Was very pleased with his grille until I spilled the beans and told him he overpaid and got robbed on the install cost (this was not even a honeycomb cutout, complete overlay bolt on). So heres the deal, Titan Talkers, anybody in my neck o' the woods who wants to install a grille and needs some help, shoot me a PM, swing by the house and we'll get 'er done. I'll supply the tools, you supply some refreshing beverage and save your 75 bucks for more mods or donate it to the site or animal rescue. All I ask is to let me take some pics while we're installing to add to the above picture book. NOTE: I'm not gonna install it for you, I'm just gonna help YOU install it. Give a man a fish he eats for a day yada yada yada.

Re: Grillcraft install, a picture book!!!!

Got myself the same grills as yours from Grillcraft and was hesitant on installing the upper - you've seen their instructions - but now it looks like I can finally finish the install. Thanks for the detailed instructions.
