Here is some info to share with you guys. I gathered these since I'm planning to try and swap my grill with a Rebel grill. Who knows if it will work or not but I guess that is the fun of trying it LOL. I'll be on vacation next week and then finishing my tattoo sleeve when I get back so I won't be able to work on this for a while. So the parts I ordered will sit in my garage. If anyone wants to try this before me, please be my guest lol! Initially I was just going to swap for a black grill but that's no fun haha!
I also included diagrams for the Laramie and Rebel bumpers in case anyone wants to go balls deep on this.
Instructions for removal and reinstallation of grill attached in post 36
The parts guy (Josh Gum) at Avondaleautomotive (Ram Dealer from AZ on eBay) talked to his body shop and they think it will bolt on but with some issues where the grill meets the bumper since the Rebel is higher in the center. If that's the only issue, not a big deal since I can trim if needed. There is a lip along the bottom of the Rebel grill where it ties into the bumper which will probably need to be trimmed. The other potential issue could be the fascia below the headlights since the fascia on the Rebel looks slightly shorter than the Laramie.
If this is a completely stupid idea, feedback is also appreciated!
