Here's a look at the factory Dodge Ram's grill. Not bad, but wait until you see what we did for it! |
Here's what you can expect when you're done installing the aftermarket RDX grill shell kit: clean lines and an aggressive look. |
The Install Process
|
1. Start by unbolting the grille shell support bracket from the underside of the hood. |
2. Then unbolt the grille shell from the hood. |
3. Uninstall the pushrod that attaches to the hood latch |
4. The grill shell assembly can then be removed from the truck. |
5. You'll need to reuse the grille shell support bracket. Unbolt it from the factory shell. |
6. Remove the grill shell support bracket to use it on the RDX grille shell kit. |
7. Be sure to save the installation clips from the factory grill shell to use when reinstalling the support bracket on the RDX grill shell. |
8. Fit the factory grill shell bracket from the Dodge Ram to the RDX grille shell kit. |
9. Bolt the support bracket to the RDX grille shell kit. |
10. Clean the outer edge on the inside of the grille shell to prepare it for weather stripping. |
11. Install the supplied weather stripping to the inside of the new grill shell. This is to prevent the grill from scratching the paint. |
12. You can now install the new RDX shell to the Ram to be bolted up. |
13. Bolt the new shell to the hood using the factory hardware. |
14. You can now reinstall the pushrod for the hood latch. |
15. Finish by bolting the grille shell frame support bracket to the underside of the hood. |
16. A quick swipe with a clean towel will get rid of any finger prints and you're done! |
