Cloud Rider Grill Cover Install

Here are some pictures of my installation of a set of Cloud Rider Grill Covers. I went for the black coated instead of the uncoated because I thought they would look better black against my green truck.

Now here are some before and after shots.

More before and afters.

These screws are self tapping and easily bite into the plastic coverings for these side vents.

Re: Cloud Rider Grill Cover Install

Now for some installation tips. All I really needed was a single screw driver with a Philips head. I also found that an Allen Wrench (2.5mm, to be exact) can in handy for helping to get the clamps positioned properly on the bumper guard portions (as noted in the pictures)

Re: Cloud Rider Grill Cover Install

The Allen wrench also helped in wiggling these rubber 'well nuts' into place on the front grill insert.

Also, be careful when tightening the screws when installing the front grill insert. Those rubber well nuts will 'disappear'. They get squeezed out from the holes in the grill insert if you try to tighten the screws too much. The bottom pic is looking down from above.

Re: Cloud Rider Grill Cover Install

THe only item that you have to remove is the plastic piece that is attached to the front grill area. It is held in place by plastic clips that are very easy to remove. You just use a flat head screw driver to pop up the center portion and pull the entire 2 piece clip out.

I have a lot more pics but I don't think they are all necessary to post. If anyone has any questions about the install, PM me or e mail and I will be happy to answer them.

Re: Cloud Rider Grill Cover Install

It is the Black Powder Coat Spectare Mesh without engine block heater kit. They have kits that have an extra hole in the upper bumper guard piece for plugging in an engine block heater. I don't really need one of those living here in Florida.
