I just like the looks of the grille, no more no less. Some people like different wheels, lights, tires etc..I did it for me, if others like it that’s ok, if others don’t, that’s ok as well.

Joe, did you see the Maxlider Motor IG post of their Ranger modification, they also installed a Rapter grille. Do you see any gaps in their install?

 

[Manny]

They're not perfect, but its close enough to still look damn good.

This install of the Rapter grille also looks good, do you see any gaps in this install?

I just ordered a Raptor grille off Ebay. It’s an original Ford part coming from Thailand so it’s going to be a while in transit.

I just received my Raptor grille from some vendor on eBay, wish me luck in the install, I will be using the video posted by @j0shm1s to help with the install. I will post pictures off the finish product.

I'm assuming that your grille is sold already?

Assume you know already that this video doesn’t show that there are tabs on the Left and Right sides of the OEM Grille!

Any one have a good idea what to do with the old grill?

 

[RaiderRanger13]

Nope, but it wasn’t a lot, right hand bottom corners.

Did it come with the three amber lights too?

Just installed the genuine ford version on my 2023 XLT Tremor. The instructions it came with were accurate except for the upper barrier removal (the one below the beauty cover) wasnt shown. No modifications to the grill etc were necessary.

So, having installed my grill, I have a suggestion on those doing the same, perhaps this was already suggested, maybe not. Once you've followed the steps to remove the radiator sight shield, radiator upper shield and grill, before reinstalling the grill, install the radiator upper shield first, you only need to remove it to access the clips without breaking them, so installing it before clipping the grill back it will make it easier to get in place and to start the bolts for it.
