    tinted windows, Remote start.code alarm system. 6" BDS suspension lift, Nitto 35s ,Weathergard floorliner and window deflector. Wet okole covers, bull bar with Rigid lighting, CSjumpers LED all around and inside.
    So I have an Aries brush guard on my 2013. I like it but I was thinking about getting rid of it and going with a bull bar. Any suggestions? Keep brush guard ? I want my truck to stand out from all the others I see around town.

    I finally worked up the courage to throw my headlights in the oven! Looks great on any color, but especially good on MGM ;)
    I'm sure you all have seen BHLM before, but here's mine :D

    BHLM looks so good on this color. What kind of grille is that?

    I didn't read the bottom of your post hahaha. I was like whoa, that looks crazy. Can you remove the grille surround on the 05-11 models?

    I have a 13 MGM DCSB 4x4. I didn't know you could remove that surround. Definitely going to do that on mine and have it painted. Chrome sucks. Was it hard to take apart?

    Not too bad. There are a lot of little tabs that could easily break of, and a bunch of torx headed screws. Way over kill just for holding on the surround.
    Just take your time and slowly pop them apart from one end to the other.

    :edit: reading the grille painting how to's, I don't think the older ones came apart. They all seem to have to tape everything off.

    Right, cause I had an 08 too, and I never heard of the surround coming off

    Yeah, if you look close at the pics of the back of the grille, you can see the torx screws and tabs that hold it together. The tabs are east to spot cause they're chrome.

    This was helpful.
    Thanks again for the compliments. Surprisingly, the BLHM was actually pretty easy.
