--Rear bumper (pics coming soon)--

The Billet Grille is made from an F-150 billet by Trenz and cut to size because there are no grilles made for the mountaineer front. The right pic is after rough cutting the grille.

Hey man, I've always admired your truck on here, Serious Explorations, and Boosted Mountaineer's site. Really nicely done I gotta say. I thought you had a mesh grille awhile back, not a billet? I was considering black mesh for my mounty, but can't find an old pic of ur truck I thought I saw with the mesh....maybe I'm just crazy? haha, take care
