• Can Westin HDX Grille Guard From 2012 Ram 1500 be Installed on 2017 Ram 2500
• We do have the replacement mounting hardware available for your Westin HDX Grille Guard # 57-3545 with part # 57-354PK, however it will not work to install your existing grille guard on your new 2017 Ram 2500. This is because both the grille guard and its mounting hardware are vehicle specific, and it looks like there is enough of a difference between the 2012 Ram 1500 and the 2017 Ram 2500 that a completely different HDX Grille Guard is needed. Your current Westin HDX Grille Guard from...

• How Can a Westin Grill Guard and Winch Be Install On 2005 Dodge Ram Pickup?
• I have an option to get your truck setup with a grill guard and winch, but Westin does not make a Grill guard for your 2005 Dodge Ram that has a winch mount, so there's no hardware available to mount a guard of that style to your truck. Your only option for a grill guard is going to be the Westin # 40-1205 in black or # 45-1200 in chrome. These will fit no matter if your truck is a 1500/2500/3500, and are custom designed just for your truck. To add a winch you'd need to add a front mount...

• Grille Guard Recommendation for 2017 Ram 1500
• So the grille guards and the mounting hardware are both made to specifically fit the trucks. What that means is that you can't take hardware from a newer truck's fit and adapt an older models grille guard to it. Only option we have would be a grille guard like the Westin HDX that is confirmed as a fit for the 2017 Ram 1500 part # 57-3545.

• Recommended Westin Grille Guard For 2018 GMC Sierra 1500
• I have a replacement grille guard option for you, but Westin does not make a version of the Sportsman X Grille Guard confirmed to fit your truck or that can be adapted to fit your truck. Instead you will need to go with the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate - Black Powder Coated Steel # 57-3925 as it is the only Westin Grille Guard confirmed to fit your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500.

• Westing Grille Guard and Mounting Bracket Recommendation for a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500
• The thing about the Westin grille guards is that the mounting brackets and the grille guard itself are designed to fit a specific vehicle. Unless you have the correct grille guard for your 2009 Chevy Silverado there isn't a mounting hardware kit that would allow it to also install on your truck. It would need to be the part # 45-2270 that you have for it to fit your truck. If you did happen to have that grille guard and only needed the hardware the correct part number would be # 40-227PK.

• Replacement Brush Guard Brackets for a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500
• I have a great solution to mount a compatible grille guard to your 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 z71. Since we do not know what specific brush guard model you have, we cannot confirm for sure what mounting hardware you need. Also, since most manufacturers make vehicle-specific hardware for each year/make/model of truck, the grille guard model as well as the mounting brackets must be manufactured with the vehicle's specs in mind. This can make purchasing mounting brackets for second-hand grille...

• Install Hardware Kit Availability for Westin Grille Guard 40-1245
• For just the install hardware of the # 40-1245 you would want the part # 40-124PK. But the grille guard would only fit your truck if the guard was originally the correct part number for your truck. You can't adapt a grille guard to a new truck just by changing the install hardware.

• Recommended Grille Guard For 2017 Ford F-150

• Westin HDX Grille Guard Replacement Hardware for 2008 Dodge Ram 1500
• Since the correct Westin HDX Grille Guard for your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 is part # 57-1950 the correct hardware kit would be the part # 57-195PK. If this is the hardware kit you tried already that would indicate that the guard you have was designed for a different truck and unfortunately you can't swap grille guard fits by just using different hardware since the guards and the hardware are both made to fit different truck fits.

• Will Aries Grille Guard Affect Front Sensors on 2018 Chevy Colorado
• Most likely the Aries Grille Guard # AA4088 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2018 Chevy Colorado, will have an effect on the front sensors for the truck. This will be the case with any grille guard that you decide to mount to the vehicle. You might be able to relocate or turn off the sensors so that you can install/use the grille guard without issue. I recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to see if there is a specific fuse that can be pulled to...

• Will Aries Grille Guard Obstruct Front Camera and Sensors on 2017 Ford F-250
• I spoke with my contact at Aries regarding the Grille Guard # AA3067-2 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2017 Ford F-250 King Ranch. He stated that there is a chance that the grille guard will obstruct or interfere a bit with the front cameras and sensors on the truck. There is not a grille guard or bull bar available that will fully eliminate this possibility, as mounting anything at the front of the truck is going to have some kind of effect on the camera. With...

• What Grille Guard Fits My 2017 Ram 1500?
• I have a great option for you. Unfortunately, since we do not carry Ranch Hand grille guards, there is no way to tell for sure if a guard from a 2019 Ram 1500 fits on a 2017 Ram 2500. With that being said, particular models of grille guards and mounting hardware rarely can be transitioned from one year/make/model of truck to another. This is because manufacturers make particular guards and hardware for specific years/makes/models of vehicles. With this factor, it can be extremely frustrating...

• Recommended Grille Guard to Protect Radiator, AC Condenser, and Transmission Cooler on 2018 F-350
• A grille guard is a great option to protect your radiator and other front-end components on your truck. However, some grille guards are better than others for protection from rocks. Since you inputted a 2018 Ford F-350 into our fitguide, I assume this is the truck you have. For a great option for maximum protection, I recommend the Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate # 57-3905 The great thing about this design is that it comes with a mesh-like punch plate that provides more protection...

• The Westin Grille Guard part # 45-0240 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2001 Ford F-150 since its a 4 wheel drive model. If that is the part number you have and the vehicle you are looking to install the grille guard onto you should be good.

• Replacement Mounting Hardware for Unknown Grille Guard for 2014 Ram 1500
• 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...

• Westin Grille Guard Recommendation for a 2000 Chevy Silverado
• The thing about the Westin Sportsman grille guards is that they and the hardware kits are both made to be vehicle specific. So if you have a grille guard from a different vehicle there isn't a way to adapt it to your 2000 Chevy Silverado. If you have a part # 40-0185 grille guard then the correct install hardware would be the part # 40-185PK that you referenced. Based on the picture you submitted it does not look like you have a compatible grille guard for your truck and would need to...

• Westin Grille Guard Recommendation for a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500
• The Westin Sportsman Grille Guards like the part # 40-1205 are made specifically to fit certain vehicles. It's not just a matter of switch mount kits so that they will fit different vehicles. Only the # 40-1205 would fit your 2005 Dodge Ram 1500, there is no way to fit a different guard on your truck. Your only option would be to order the # 40-1205 as a new grille guard for your truck.
