ease install! still looking good! The bottom Bar does block the front plate some.

Receive it yesterday and installed it. If it wasn't for the garbage stainless steel hardware it would have been a faster simply install. I had the 2 bolts, the only 2 I tried to close up the gap lightly with a short wrench pull threads and get stuck before it was even tight. I couldn't back it out or get it tight So I had to unbolt the brackets and pull it all off and cut the bolts with a sawzall. Then I replaced all the hardware with 1/2 inch grade 8 flanged bolts and nuts. Save yourself the trouble and junk the hardware that comes with it and get 8 hardened bolts uptown.

After ordering the grille guard I wondered how it would be delivered as I have a long driveway with no turn-around. I called etrailer and made them aware of my driveway situation. They gave me the number to the shipper and we were able to meet up less than two miles from my home. I was really impressed with the way my grille guard was packaged. The installation went smoothly for the most part. The illustration pictures included with the instructions were a bit confusing at first. After scrutinizing the diagrams I was able to finish the installation. Since the grille guard was to much to handle for one person, I used a block and tackle hung from my garage roof rafter and had my wife steady the grille guard as I installed the bolts. Torquing the nuts was a bit of a challenge due to the limited access space. Also, after the installation was completed, I had a hard time opening the hood due to the limited space to access the horizontal hood latch. The top of the grille guard sits a bit higher than the truck's grill and the hood release space. Finally, after succeeding in opening the hood, I drilled a hole in the horizontal latch, installed a zip tie in the hole, and now can pull the zip tie horizontally to release the latch. The grille guard appears to be sturdy. If it keeps my headlight and factory grill intact after a deer strike it is money well spent. Price a headlight assembly and grill for a 2019 Ford F250 and I'm confident that you'll agree with me. The only added cost for me was buying an 18mm socket. I've received many compliments already on the grille guard.
