Any ideas
I got my new grill for my truck today its black. Im going to coat it in line-x. I also want to make customs barb wire inserts for them. any ideas how to attach them? Would fiberglassing with resin on the inside work?

RE: Any ideas
if you look in the DIY thread at the top & also at the top of the 2nd gen ram forum there is a link to a writeup where the poster did a custom grill install, might be worth a look to get ideas...

You could always tack weld the barb wire together to make a "mesh" type grill and install it like any other after market grill. You could even use zip ties like in the DIY write up.
I can see it now...you'll have an assortment of bugs and birds impaled on your barb wire grill.[:'(] LOL Cool idea with the barb wire...you'll have to be careful when washing the front end though.

I know you can't weld it to the grill itself but you can weld the barb wire together to make basically a mesh grill then attach that as one piece to the grill shell. I think it would be easier to hide the mounting points. Razor wire would look good too....

RE: Any ideas
I attached my grill covers(NOTin my picture below)with really thin wire that matched the color of the covers. Got it from a craft store. Just went all around the edges and twisted them to the grill. Works really well, and I didn't have to pull the OEM grill- which was the whole idea behind it.
