How To Install the Smittybilt M1 Mesh Grille
Video Transcription:
Hi guys, John here with Realtruck.com. Today we’re going to show you how to install the M1 Grill from Smittybilt onto a Dodge Ram.First step of our installation process is to go ahead and get this factory grill out of the truck.Down on the bottom, inside this grill area it actually snaps in, so what you can do is you can kind of either go ahead and give it a real hard pull and it’ll come right off. All right, once we’ve got our grill out of the truck, we’ve got it laid out here, what we want to do is go ahead and take these bolts out around the top edge that holds our mounting piece on. After we’ve got our mounting bracket out then we’re going to want to go ahead and take this center grill section out. All the way around the grill section we’ve just got clips that hold it in so we’re going to go ahead and start popping them loose to get this out of here. Now if you happen to break one of these don’t freak out because we’re not going to re-use this part anyway. Okay, once that’s out go ahead and set it off to the side. What we’re going to do is we’re just going to take our little Dremel tool and with a cutting wheel on it and we’re going to use it and we’re going to start cutting around on our grill to get this center section out of here. We’ve got it all trimmed up, we’re going to go ahead and take our M1 Smittybilt grill and give it a little test fit. Make sure that it’s going to sit in here the way we want it to. And that’s going to work out pretty nice for us. And once we’ve got our grill shell all prepped and we’ve got our hardware laid out then what we want to do is go ahead and start attaching our brackets onto our new grill insert. Make sure that when you attach these L brackets that you use the right side of the bracket, make sure that you’re using the short side down on the grill insert itself.We want to line up the edge of the bracket right to the edge of our grill insert, then we’ll go ahead and tighten down. So we’ve got all these brackets on and attached so now, what we’re going to do is take the brackets that we have left and go ahead and install these on all the spaces that we have left open. Now what we want to do, that we’ve got all of our brackets attached is go ahead and take a marking pen of some sort and I’m going to go in here and I’m going to mark where our brackets’ locations are so that we know where to drill our holes to attach this to our grill shell. Now what I’m going to do, which is going to make this project a lot easier for us, is I’m going to go ahead and mark from
