Expert Answers about Lincoln Truck Grilles


  • Replacement Brackets for Grille Guard on a 2011 GMC Sierra 1500
  • I have a great option to mount a compatible grille guard to your 2011 GMC Sierra 1500. Since I do not know what particular grille guard you have, I 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 guards extremely...

  • Replacement Mounting Brackets for a Westin Sportsman Grille Guard on a 2002 Chevrolet 1500
  • You asked from brackets for a Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 40-117PK (not a fit for your truck). If that is the guard that you have, the brackets that fit your 2002 Chevrolet Silverado are the Replacement Mounting Hardware Kit for Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 40-018PK (guards manufactured after 2006) which fits the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 40-0185. It is important to note that the mounting brackets are specific to both the grille guard and your truck. So if that is not the...

  • Correct Grille Guard for 1996 Dodge Ram Pickup
  • To add a grille guard to your 1996 Dodge Ram pickup you need the Aries Grille Guard # AA5042 which comes with the mounting hardware designed to install the Aries grille guard on your truck. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Westin has a fit for your 1996 Dodge Ram pickup. Grille guards are vehicle and mounting hardware specific so the only way for yours to fit your truck is if it happens to mimic the body size of your truck and if you're able to fabricate some kind of mounting kit for it.

  • Replacement Hardware Kit For a Westin HDX Grille Guard On a 2013 Ram 1500
  • No, the Replacement Installation Hardware Kit for Westin HDX Grille Guard # 57-195PK (2006-2008 Ram 1500) would not be the correct replacement hardware for your 2013 Ram 1500. The mounting hardware is specific to both the grille guard and the truck. The correct replacement hardware the fits your 2013 Ram 1500 is the Replacement Hardware Kit for Westin HDX Grille Guards # 57-354PK.

  • What Grille Guard Fits My 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the New Body Style?
  • Thanks so much for the photo. As far as mounting brackets for your Ranch Hand grill guard, we unfortunately do not carry Ranch Hand products. Even if we did, purchasing replacement mounting brackets for grille guards are difficult if the grille guard was not made to fit your 2007.5 Chevy Silverado 2500HD. 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...

  • Does Grill Have To Be Cut When Installing Grill Guard On 2013 GMC Sierra Denali
  • The Westin HDX Grille Guard with Punch Plate, part # 57-3665 you referenced is designed to fit 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks. It does not require cutting the grill when installing. This guard offers full protection on the front of your truck. If your Sierra is a 1500 model, then part # 57-2295 would be the grille guard you would need to order.

  • Correct Westin Grille Guard for a 1999 Toyota Tacoma
  • The trucks fit with different sized grille guards so one from a 1997 Chevy Silverado won't fit your 1999 Toyota Tacoma. For a similar style that fits your Tacoma we have the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 40-0905. This is black instead of silver but it will fit your truck.

  • 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...

  • Does a 2013 Ford F-150 XLT have to have Tow Hooks to Install Westin HDX Grille Guard
  • The Westin HDX Grille Guard # 57-2505 will fit your 2013 Ford F-150 XLT. It fits models with or without the EcoBoost motor. It bolts to the frame rails on the truck. The truck does not have to have the factory tow hooks to install the grille guard. I am not sure what you mean by the place it mounts is not there. If you could email me some pictures I will be happy to determine if there is something that would prevent installation of the grille guard on your truck.

  • Westin Mounting Brackets for 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 for Westin HDX Series
  • Unfortunately I see this happen a lot, where customers want to transfer their grille guards to a new truck using a different mounting bracket set and they're unable to. This is because grille guards are designed specifically to fit certain models of trucks and rarely do they crossover to different manufacturers; long story short, you're not going to be able to mount a grille guard for a Chevy truck on a GMC truck or a Ford truck. It looks like the Replacement Mounting Brackets # 57-378PK...

  • 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.

  • Can Aries Grille Guard and Winter Grille Cover be Installed at the Same Time on a 2017 Ram 2500
  • The Aries grille guard # AA5056 will mount to the frame of your 2017 Ram 2500 and it will stick out from the front of the truck a few inches. Provided that your grille cover does not also mount in the same location on the truck frame and doesn't protrude outward then you could use both at the same time if you needed. Take a look at the installation instructions I have linked and compare them to how your grille cover installs to ensure compatibility.

  • Grille Guard Compatible with 2002 Chevy S-10 Truck
  • The Replacement Mounting Hardware Kit for Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 40-143PK is not a fit for your S10. That mounting kit is only a fit for 2002 to 2004 Nissan Xterra. Westin does not carry a full grille guard for your truck but they have bull bars like # 30-0005-1065 or # 30-0000-1065. We do have a similar full grille guard from Aries for your truck. It is the Aries Grille Guard - 1 Piece - Black Powder Coated Steel # AA4044 and fits 1998-2003 S-10 pickups and 1998-2004 Blazers.

  • Which Aries Grille Guard Fits 2005 Ford F-150
  • Hey Joshua, I noticed you referenced the bracket kit part # AABRKT-3056 which is the correct Aries grille guard bracket kit for your 2005 Ford F-150 but you should note that you can't take a grille guard from a different truck and have it fit a new truck by just swapping the hardware out so if that's what you are trying to do unfortunately it's not possible. In that cases only solution would be an all new grille guard with the part # AA3056.

  • Hood Operation On 2011 Toyota Tundra With Westin Grille Guard Installed
  • The Westin Grille Guard, part # 57-2235, you referenced, will not interfere with the hood operation on your 2011 Toyota Tundra. This grille guard installs on the vehicle frame and gives you enough room for the hood to open normally. This is a custom fit heavy duty grille guard that has rubber lined uprights that protect your truck finish. It also has a punch plate insert that protects your truck grill from damage. I have attached a photo that shows the grille installed, and the clearance...

  • Westin Grille Guard and Hardware Kit Recommendation for a 1997 Chevy Truck

You should note that this hardware kit will only allow the # 45-0080 or # 40-0085 to be installed on your vehicle. You cannot take a grille guard designed for a different vehicle and adapt it to your truck with this hardware kit.

  • 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.
