Lower Grille
Thank God i have a lower grille. On Friday morning cruisin down my favorite fwy (57). A car in front of me ran over a piece of wood ( 1 x 2 x 18in) which shot right at my car, I heard a bang as hit my car. And went oh sh
t!!!. So i pulled off the fwy and found the piece of wood, lodge in the lower opening for the grille.Needless to say if i didn't have a lower grille it would have went right into the radiator. So yes lower grilles do more the just look pretty.

Glad you are ok, Trac'! I got the grill for looks but for that reason too -- You know, I drive the 57 out to Claremont every day now and am lucky to be going against traffic to/from OC, but have seen some pretty hairy accidents.
I'm still trying to figure out how an F150 going West ended up upside down on my side of the freeway (East)
(people were ok, but that cab was pretty crushed).

I put one on mine just for that reason. I bought a second Lund horizontal framed grill and trimmed to down to fit the bottom opening. They have been discontinued now and i had a heck of a time finding them. finally called Lund and got two of the last four they had. here is a link to some pics.

The "Collier Grille" worked perfect
, got home took out the grille reformed it back to its original form. No paint lost, couple scracthes but rubbed those out. So back on the road again.
