Different grilles?

kicker226 · May 7, 2014

I have a 13' tradesman. I picked up a bighorn grill insert from a Chrysler dealer in VA for $75. I put it in today and was kind of disappointed. Is there a difference in the grills? I wanted it to look like this

But instead it looks like this

I'm meaning about how the insert sets back in the surround it's self

If I'm not mistaking, the first one on the picture is an early 4th gen (10-12) and the sport billet grill was a bit less sticking out like the later 4th gen (13-14). What you installed on your truck is the equivalent of a sport/big horn billet slats. They don't make an oem/mopar like the early 4th gen for the later 4th gen.

Also, that's why I switched mine from the slats to the honeycomb on my sport hehe!

Okay, it makes sense. The grey truck is a 2011 big horn. I have my honeycomb sitting in the box still.

I'm assuming the earlier grills won't fit on newer truck.

I think it looks better with the slates flush out towards the molding, but thats just me.

I want to get a sport bumper. I have a buddy that works at Tasca (he's the Facebook guy) and they price OEM products for 10% above cost.

205 for the front, and 251 for rear, $120 shipping. But that doesn't include things like the fog lights and a new headlight switch to accommodate the fogs.

Which leads me to the question of, does all Rams have the wires run for the fog lights?

^^Thats a great idea. I love the Sports colored bumpers. My 2012 already has fog lights, yours didnt?

kicker226 · May 8, 2014

No, I wish it did. I have to figure out if there's wiring already run down there. I'm hoping there is.

Thats not bad pricing for the front and rear bumpers. Thanks.
