Replacement Mounting Hardware for Unknown Grille Guard for 2014 Ram 1500  

Question:

Can anyone help me identify this brush guard? It looks like a Steelcraft or Westin. I have a 2014 Ram 1500 5.7 2-Door and need the mounting kit to install this. It came off of a Dodge I just dont know what year Dodge. Please help.

I looked up the application charts for both Westin (which we carry) and Steelcraft (which we do not carry) and looked at photos of every grille guard ever offered for Dodge. The grille guard in your photo does not match any of those grill guards. So if you're positive it came off of a Dodge, it's safe to say it's neither of those brands.

There's an extra opening to the left and right of the main punch plate which suggests it may not even be designed to fit your 2014 Ram 1500. If you look at the design of the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate # 57-3545, which is a fit for your truck, it does not have these. The same was the case for all the other grille guards I looked up. There's also three mounting holes on the inside of the lower tubes that do not match the ones on the other grille guards either, so the mounting brackets that come with the hardware kit # 57-354PK for # 57-3545 will not work for you.

Hardware kits for grill guards are designed to fit not just the specific vehicle but also the specific brand and model of grille guard. I know it's not what you wanted to hear but the only solution, without knowing this information, is to go with a grille guard that is confirmed to fit your truck. I've linked our selection at the bottom of the page for you. Custom mounting hardware is included with any of these.
