    We've had about 3 weeks of below zero temps this winter in Montana. I took my truck to the car wash today and noticed that the shroud around the grill insert is cracked. I'm only guessing that the -15 degree temps on the metal grill and the plastic shroud didn't play nicely together. The truck only has 6k miles on it and I put the custom grill in last September. It doesn't appear to have any other damage from a rock or something, just the big crack. Anybody know the part number for this piece and is it available online?

    Looks like you have to buy the whole grille again... Sucks. $300+

    I said it was the bamf in the other thread

    The bamf grille fits inside the stock surround so fkn tight when screwed in.

    Pay attention to where it's cracked, it's in the same exact location right above that screw.

    Tighter than a barely legal 18 y/o

    You live in Arizona... Don't think you have to worry about -15 temps. :p

    Hunting at 8000ft elevation in fall or winter can get pretty cold.

    Just take a saw to the other side and match the cut. Throw some rubber weather strip in and call it factory. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone..:gossip:

    I'd be more worried about the rust coming from those bolt heads:wink:
