waht kind are you looking for just a grill guard like the one i have if so then dont get a painted one spend the extra cuple bucks and get a stainless one youll be happyer in the end the painted ones tend to rust really quick any truck place will have them most even have them on display i work in a truck shop as an instaler so any questions just ask..

Okay heres what you'll need for wiring got to your local best buy or stereo shop and get two wire harnesses the first one will be a 02 and up Chrysler reverse harness and the second will be a std. chrysler wire harness for like 89' to 01'. Next you'll need an 02' and up chrysler antenna adapter. All together should run about $50-60. The dash openings are aprox. the same size around din and a half the only diff. is in the holes for the screws to go into and for that it's just gonna be finding what will work through trial and error. Wish I could be more help w/ the mounting but at least you've got some idea of whats going on with the wiring. Those harnesses are color coded so just match em up the only pain is that the ground is not in the harness it is seperate so you'll have to take the ground comming off the 02' and up harness and run it to the ground wire that was connected to the old radio. post a pic once it's in would love to see how it comes out.
