Default Grille/Brush Guard ordered.. thought I'd share

Well I was thinking of buying a grille/brush guard for the truck and was doing a little searching on E-Bay and found this one. Did alot of searching around and it gets good reviews. I have no idea why but the one on ebay is at least half the price that I could find it anywhere else. Thought I'd share that info for those of you who may want one but like me don't want to spend $400 +++ to get one. Can't wait for it to get here so I can install it. I'll post some pictures once it gets here.

Yeah, that's super cheap. Let us know what you think. Hopefully you got a good deal, and it's not a "you get what you pay for" kinda thing.

Well the brush guard arrived. Looked well built, although made in China. Looked at the directions which are exactly what I read they were, not too good. Noticed on the front page that it was made for a 2006-2008 2500/3500 and 2006-2008 1500 Ram. Uh-OH!!! Double checked on JC Whitney and another auto parts site that sells them and they all stated it would fit an 09 Ram 1500...... but NOT a 2010 or 2011. NOT GOOD. They have made a big error on model years it will fit. This kit does NOT fit a 2009 and up Ram 1500 so do not buy it for your forth generation truck!!!!!!! I did double check the mounting brackets and they are not correct for our trucks. Crap, now I have to ship it back. Sorry for the initial false info.

Dude, that sucks. Whenever I'm looking for aftermarket parts on-line, I always type in that I have a 2010 Ram 1500 (even though I actually have a 2009), because so many of these smaller on-line companies either "forget" that the '09 1500 is the new generation, or they're just idiots.
