Well I gues Ill just go OEM then. That should be pretty easy to do, not much fabricating needed. Oh, and for the partial and open mouth grille, I would just cut out the "crosshairs" (hahaha) and the lip they make into the outside pieces, and fiberglass and sand them back smooth. Then I would fiberglass brackets all around the back part of the outside edge to hold the mesh in place. We just finished my buddies toyota tacoma grille. Here's a pic of it. But looks like this one will be pretty easy now, with just the OEM style. Thanks for your input all!

Good choice.

I have to admit, though, the full cutout doesn't look too bad. Ram's are meant to have crosshairs, though.

Here we have problems with Turkey. When they take off from the side of the road they always fly toward the open area (road). Chest high for a motorcycle rider, ouch!

Oem style ......

^^^A woman here in Florida recently, Sarasota I believe, had a turkey fly into her while riding her motorcycle. I think it hit her in the head. She lost control and went through two barbed-wire fences. Luckily she survived. OUCH!!

BTW, my vote is for partial cut or OEM, respectively.

the partial will be pretty difficult since the center cross hairs go directly through the upright, full cutout would be easier and look pretty good imo or oem!
