Made my own lower bumper grill insert today...

[quangdog]

I sort of like the lower grill inserts I've seen from Putco, but I wanted slightly tighter spacing in the holes, and wanted to see if I could build something myself. I started with a piece of galvanized grill material I bought at Lowes for $10.99. I used some cardboard to make a template for both the left and right side (I have the adaptive cruise control) and then I cut and bent up the grill material to fit my template. A quick coat of primer and paint, then cussed my way through getting them installed (I put 3 screws into each one - one on the upper part, 2 on the lower part.. it was tight working in there, but managed it). I am really happy with how they turned out. What do you guys think?

A bit of humor ….
You will definately need to reduce the mesh spacing to prevent collecting and capturing Canada's only blood sucking female national bird aka the mosquito. Your Ranger's gas mileage will go to zero carrying all those varmints inside your vehicle.

BTW ... cool DIY project.

i was thinking about using polished perforated stainless sheet to make it. it would look great against STX all black grille
