Which clean grill on 2007 Expy (mesh, horizontal, vertical)?

[Conrad Penner]

Here are some more photos, from side and 45°. Closeup shows one minor fit issue, where the fit to the headlight is a bit uneven, wider at the top and tight at the bottom. (Red arrows)

As for the install, it was very easy except that I have the winch bumper. Like the factory grill, this unit is designed to clip to the plastic bumper cover to secure the bottom of the grill. When I put the Iron Bull bumper on, I had to bore holes in the OEM grill, then drill and tap corresponding holes in the bumper and cut some stainless bolts off to squeeze in there. (Third red arrow at the bottom left). Getting those short screws to catch in the threaded hole is a pain in the neck. That took longer than the rest of the install.

I took a bunch of pictures during the install so if there is interest I’ll start a separate thread for that.

Hey Mark, what year is your expy? I want to order one of these grilles for my 2017 which looks almost identical to yours but the listing only goes to 2014. Not sure if this is an issue

Sorry, just seeing this. My Expedition is a 2012. I’m not sure this grill would work on a 2017. They were reasonably responsive to my pre-purchase emails, so you might try reaching out to them and see if they have one that will fit your truck.
