Replacing front grill

[Patriot]

Replacement is easy...VERY easy.

Do you have a brush guard?? If you do, it will have to come off first. This is easy to do...let us know if you have a brush guard and we will post those removal instructions.

Removal of the grill is nothing more than 4 nuts on the inside of the hood (hood open) and a firm pull after that. The four nuts are too the outside of the grill between the headlights and the edge of the grill. The corresponding four bolts are hard mounted to the grill itself and come off with the grill. There are retaining clips that hold it on after you take off the four nuts...that's what the firm pull is for.

You may also want to take this opporotunity to match your grill color to the rest of your truck. Do a search for color matched grill numbers. GMPARTSDIRECT has them as do other aftermarket parts sites.

If chrome is the color of choice, I'd take bored up on his offer...since he switched to a black grill, his chrome one is prolly just taking up space in the old garage.
