New Grill

[danpfay99]

Got the new grill on yesterday, whada you think. finished at about 9 at nite in a garage, look a little dark.

[HEMI05RAM]

That looks pretty damn sweet. I like!

Remove the front license plate...or at least the dealer holder.

[dave2003]

That looks good. one question though. How do u open ur hood?

[danpfay99]

They send a bar w/ a handle &hooked on the other end. Took latch off drilled per instructions( they send good pics & instructs) slides through part of grill mount bracket. pop[ hood reach under hood pull handle comes right open.

[dave2003]

That sounds like a good setup. do u have any pics of the new latch?

[danpfay99]

I'll take some later today & put em up.

[Crash459]

Who makes the grill and where can I get one?

[danpfay99]

google up, E&G Classic grills, then dodge grills $138.00 + shipping

[WIZARD]

hay danpfay99 i see you are in alaska when i was in the coast guard i was on kodiak island for a year back in the mid 80's.have yet to see any place else like it. did you buy the grill direct from e&g for that 138.00 price ? i am finding prices of 250 and up from other places.

[danpfay99]

went to their web site & called the 800# got it right from them.seemed like nice folks & quick to ship.Posting a couple pics of the latch hope they show ok works well, had to pop the hood to take em.

[WIZARD]

called e and g today and they were more then happy to email me the instructions so if anyone wants to see them pm me and i will email them to you.they said it would be a few days but only took 1 hour to get

[FreeLantz]

Thanks for starting this thread. I ordered my E&G grill today. Can't wait to install it, should be a huge improvement over the stock grill based on your pics :cool: .

[danpfay99]

no problem, makes me feel good to know someone else likes it enough to get one for their truck. It really does change the look of the truck.

[unit585]

Nice job on the grill. It definatley gives it a distinctive look.

[Mattb7]

I know this thread is a little old, but I jusr joined the forum today. I have an 05 black QC SLT 4.7. Anyway, do you have any pics from a little further away in the day time. I think I really like the look of that grille.

[danpfay99]

I.ll get a couple this wknd. & post.

[Mattb7]

Wow you're good, a month and a half old thread and you still responded right away. Thanks man.

[FourSevenDakota]

You'll like it, I know I do. Best money I've spent yet. I never really cared for the front end of the new Daks (I bought one anyway). The E&G grill makes the front a little easier on the eyes...

[FourSevenDakota]

This is from E&G's website:

[hemi_dakota94]

Wow, that is a very nice look. The new Dakotas really need that little bit extra on the front end. The stock grille just doesn't look good all alone. I can't wait to see the new 06 Sport model with the painted grille shell and some inserts.

[tones2SS]

That looks really good!!! Me likey!!!! :gr_patrio :rck:

[danpfay99]

Here are a couple pics. Hope this is what you were looking for took em in the rain(not by choice)

[Kicknzx3]

please someone take this grill off my hands :( ..love the look though

[timinct]

$138 + shipping direct ??? I just called E&G directly and was told $264, wtf? I'll order it right now for $138, please tell me who you dealt with.

Thanks,
Tim

[danpfay99]

I talked to a guy named S. Mario at the calif. warehouse, can't think of the number got it off the web site.That was the price on the web site.

[timinct]

Thanks for the quick response. The only web site I can find is egclassic com That is the manufactures web site. There are no prices listed. I did find a phone # to the west coast distribution center, but they told me I had to call the corporate office in MD. Thats the one I called already and was told $264

There are several web sites that sell the grill, but the best price I found was $195 shipped. Do you by chance remember who's web site you looked at? Sorry to be a pain, I'm usually good at finding good deals but not this time.

Thanks for your help,
Tim

[danpfay99]

It was the E&G website , I'll look for my invoice all that stuff was on there If you have an e-mail I'll send you a copy.

[FourSevenDakota]

I paid $165

[Kicknzx3]

well i joined the E&G club yesterday... work was slow so i pulled it into my bay at around 4 and was done by 4:30 or so.. thought it was much more involved but wow i was wrong. looks great, very solid and i even like the fit of the washer tank cover. too bad i bought it when it was expensive about 2-3 months ago when first released :( could has saved me some cash

[FourSevenDakota]

Yeah, it's a quality piece. I was surprised at how heavy duty the "mesh" is when I unpacked the grill. Good stuff, should last forever.

[gmaxx]

Your Grill looks nice. I was checking out the E&G gril out myself. How long did it take to install. Does it require a lot of drilling. The drilling part is what concerns me. And I mite have to have custom shop install one for me. :IDEA:

[danpfay99]

Only took about 1 1/2 hrs.,was helping a friend mount a 5th. wheel in his truck at the same time. the drilling is nothing real easy just get a pkg. of flat washers before you start made for a more secure mount when running the screws insome of the holes. If you use tools at all it's pretty easy & well worth it in MHO. good luck

[gmaxx]

Thanx for the info, I will order one after I'm finish Christmas shopping. Don't wont the little lady of the house thinking. MiMi my (05) Dak is more important. LOL!!
