2004 Ford F-150 Grille Guards & Bull Bars

My truck is a Ford F150 2004 This is a really nice product and seams to be really well made. Once you figure out the mounting method to use and yes 2 people makes installation a lot easier. Each trucks brackets might be different in style, becuse mine deinitely don't look like the video. 1. These are NOT 2" square tubes at all. There is not a single 2" tube anywhere. They are 1 3/8x1 1/4 or up to 1 3/4 x 1 3/8. They are not like video makes it look - thick. They are more rectangular in shape. Each of the three tubes different sizes. 2. My mounting bracket only has 1 bolt hole with a single flange and has about 1/4" of bite for top and bottom to hold on too, 1/2" overlap tab top and bottom would be a better bite. Again look closely at the video, the video shows a big beefy "T" flange with 2 bolts thru to connect to another beefy bracket, with a big metal tab bite to top and bottom of pipes. Mine has to have these metal shim tabs to take up the space in the brackets, because they are using smaller and different size tubes on top from bottom. ( cutting some corners I think) 3. Also they supplied 1 mounting bolt that passes thru the bottom truck body at the bottom. Directions say M10x1.5 bolt, well they ship all 1" bolts. So when mounting the bracket. it is made with a slight angle so when you put the washers on your left with 1 thread to try to grab into. Had to go to Home Depot and buy Real 1.5" stainless steal bolts. That little bit extra allows for a better connection. 4. This is all maufacturing and quality control issues. Other than that, they seam to be really sturdy. Time will Tell.
