Looks great dude. I took my grill on my wrangler and sprayed it with Rustoleum bed liner spray...looks amazing. That grill looks like it would look even better with a few coats of spray!
Jed, thanks for this vid, used it today to install my grill and when I actually watched what you did and stopped jumping ahead it made the job very east. 👍🏼🇦🇺
Looks good man. I also want to install this grill. Apparently the Thai ones are the same part number as the Aussie genuine ford grill. I was told from Aussie dealer that it definitely will not fit as the mounting points are different. Anyone know if the Aussie and USA models are the same? I am in Australia.
Estava pensando em levar a minha pra Califórnia ...para vc fazer um "up grade" inteiro na Ranger! Vc é um artista !! O trabalho de levantamento no outro vídeo também ficou fantástico! Parabéns!
Does the Ranger feel high enough? Does it feel like it needs a few more inches of ground clearance? Any complaints with the Ranger? I’m waiting for the price to come down. They’re over priced right now.
Its pretty high as-is, but I will definitely be lifting it once the kit I'm waiting on is available. Not too drastic, 3-3.5" lift is all it needs. That and some 33's and you're good to go!
@@samuelparent8548 will do, I'll definitely be posting a vid when the wheels/tires go on. Still waiting on BDS/Fox to get their lift kit out though, so the tires have a better chance at fitting.
were planning to buy a ranger.. i was wondering if i should go for a base model xls. and use the extra money for mods.. is a higher model worth the extra cost if ill mod it?
It absolutely does! I have zero complaints about the truck. I'd recommend finding a dealer that has them on the lot, give it a good once over and test drive it if you can - I ordered it sight unseen and without test driving it. With that being said, it was the right choice!
Hey! I had to trim the lower portion of this grill because it didn't clear the lower valance underneath the headlights. Since I installed this though, an aftermarket version has been released that just clips right in without any modification.
Add a mustang to your garage and it will be complete! Nice ranger dude, I have a 2018 Ranger Argentian Spec that im modding slowly. Awesome pickups, I imagine the 2.3L turbo engine is pretty sweet.
No joke man! It takes me twice as long to get anything done holding a camera in one hand lol... Your truck will show up, the wait sucks, but its worth it!
Why did you put blue tape on the corners? So it wouldn't scratch it? You had to trim the corner off was that just to modify it to make it fit? Nice truck! 👍
Hey Jim! Yeah the blue tape was used along with some thin but durable hard plastic under it to protect the valence as the grille was being installed. I did have to trim away some of the lower corners of the grille to make it fit and it was still very tight. Thanks!
Thanks. Now they will probably sell out. Ha.. Looks great, how are you liking the White paint combo. Considering the same color combo myself. Maybe you can do another video showing the entire truck?
Lol, yeah I don't expect them to last long... I've already received a couple messages asking for the link to the seller :D I love Oxford White! It was a toss up for me though, between Oxford White and Lightning Blue, in the end I'm very happy I went with white. AND it matches my RS! I'll definitely be posting more vids as soon as more parts come in, but you can also check out my Instagram instagram.com/j0shm1lls/ where I'll post stuff here n there. Thanks!
Looks like a pain in the ass. I build ford engines for the f250 and up and install bumpers sometimes. Luckily we have tools to make it easier. Idk if I could do this with a finished truck haha but I want a 2021 ranger when they release and want to do this to the grille. Might just try it anyway
The grille I put on initially was an OEM Ranger Raptor grille from Thailand, and it didn't really fit quite right so that's why I had to mod it a little. The aftermarket has since come out with one that just slots right in and fits perfectly.
The reason I cut mine, was because it is an oem grille made for the overseas Rangers and doesn't quite fit right. Since this video was made, a new grille has popped up on eBay that is a direct bolt on with no need to cut or trim.
The one in this video is actually an OEM Ford part from Thailand, but I have since actually replaced it with the auto-elegance part due to a better fit. It fills the gap around the edges better than the OEM Raptor grille.
Hi, thanks for video, i read it to remove a 2021 front end, new addition, there are 2 torx bolts at bottom of front grille, in both inner front corners, ford engineers have a sense of humour lol
Just been watching a couple of your videos, i'm impressed with how you did that grill change for the most part with just one hand. Also put a link up to your spotify playlist! some dope songs there.
Thanks! Yeah its kind of a pain to do everything one handed haha but I guess I got somewhat used to it - should probably buy myself a hat or chest cam rig lol. I don't have a spotify playlist - but here's where I get most of my music for these videos from! ruclips.net/user/NoCopyrightSounds
great,, idk if you know this but I saw a ranger raptor in Mexico last week.. so I don't know if its more convenient to find parts from the south of our border.. at least save some overseas shipping money.. @@J0shM1lls
I had to do the same thing with my 2019 ford everest. Clearanced it but still doesnt fit perfect. It was a pain in the ass but it looks so much better 🤘👍
Good day MrBooxy ... I'm in Australia and trying to source a Raptor style grille for my 2016 Everest... harder to find than a straight politician .. could I ask where you sourced yours from ... Regards
god damn that makes the front end look nice
Why did you need to cut the raptor grille. Does it not come with the right fit?
I've seen a lot of these, your's is the best so far. Good idea to film with the go-pro!!!
JOSH please can you provide the P/N for new part?
thanks in advance
Looks great dude. I took my grill on my wrangler and sprayed it with Rustoleum bed liner spray...looks amazing. That grill looks like it would look even better with a few coats of spray!
Why was the piece cut?
I have the same question...
I’ve been searching like crazy for an OEM Ranger Raptor grill... where’d you get yours!!!!
Jed, thanks for this vid, used it today to install my grill and when I actually watched what you did and stopped jumping ahead it made the job very east. 👍🏼🇦🇺
Why was the modification to the grill needed?
Looks good man.
I also want to install this grill. Apparently the Thai ones are the same part number as the Aussie genuine ford grill. I was told from Aussie dealer that it definitely will not fit as the mounting points are different. Anyone know if the Aussie and USA models are the same? I am in Australia.
Sick song. Sick truck. Sick grill.
what were you using the dremel for
Are u going to make a video about ur truck more
That grill is going to look bad ass on a black truck. Cause it looks bad ass on your white one. Epic
Why did you cut it ?
why did you trim it?
Why did you need to use a dremel
Hi Josh Where did you get your grill from?
Looks great! Always loved that grill!
Your Ranger came with engine plastic cover ??
Where did you get the grill

Is possible install this in the ford ecosport?
Turn the sound off and you can watch it.
Saw the BFG ko2 in the background....What size are they ? Assuming there for the Ranger...
Good eye! Yep, they're for the Ranger and they're LT285/70R17. It's the same size and tire that's on the Ranger Raptor.
@@J0shM1lls awesome let us know if you encounter any rubbing without modding the suspension. Or better make a vid ! Thanks
@@samuelparent8548 will do, I'll definitely be posting a vid when the wheels/tires go on. Still waiting on BDS/Fox to get their lift kit out though, so the tires have a better chance at fitting.
Did this come from Amazon?is it oem?
You got your garage all set up like that, where's the GT350?
Heh, My RS will have to take the GT350's spot for now :)
Hi Josh .. could I ask where you sourced you grille from OS ... I'm in Australia and trying to find one for my 2016 Everest .. cheers
were planning to buy a ranger.. i was wondering if i should go for a base model xls. and use the extra money for mods.. is a higher model worth the extra cost if ill mod it?
Did the ford ranger meet your expectations ? I would love one that's why im asking real daily drivers.
It absolutely does! I have zero complaints about the truck. I'd recommend finding a dealer that has them on the lot, give it a good once over and test drive it if you can - I ordered it sight unseen and without test driving it. With that being said, it was the right choice!
Thanks ill keep that in mind 👍
I am guessing you cut the grill because it doesn't fit the lariat headlights?
Hey! I had to trim the lower portion of this grill because it didn't clear the lower valance underneath the headlights. Since I installed this though, an aftermarket version has been released that just clips right in without any modification.
@@J0shM1lls thanks for letting me know. It looks sweet!

Need to get you a head mount for the camera. Sucks working one handed hah. Ill be doing this if my truck ever shows up. Thanks josh!
No joke man! It takes me twice as long to get anything done holding a camera in one hand lol... Your truck will show up, the wait sucks, but its worth it!

Very Nice. Is that the grille from Thailand that their selling?
Thanks! Yep, this was an order off of eBay straight from Thailand. It is however a genuine Ford Part for the Thai Ranger Raptor.
Thanks. Now they will probably sell out. Ha.. Looks great, how are you liking the White paint combo. Considering the same color combo myself. Maybe you can do another video showing the entire truck?

Only could watch 30 seconds before that stupid music drove me nuts !!!
I wonder if u could add the outter painted trim that
Says Ranger..on top of the Raptor grille, which will cover the 3 light holes?
Where you get it...?
Will this grill accept after market identifier light bracket?

Josh Mills oh ok nice! Where do you get the one the one that doesn’t need to be cut?
Got amy links or part numbers for that piece ?
Looks good, doing the same the Taco guys do snatching up faux grills from Ebay...although you gotta order from overseas. Nice truck
Thanks! This grill is actually an OEM part (off the Ranger Raptor) from Ford Thailand.
Looks awesome . Did you do the video when you installed the raptor style led lights ?
Wow....looks 100% better!
Nice I'm slowly getting things for my 2019 ranger and this will be done now.
I am about to do mine, just got the grille. Why cut with the dremel? Problems fitting inside?
The reason I cut mine, was because it is an oem grille made for the overseas Rangers and doesn't quite fit right. Since this video was made, a new grille has popped up on eBay that is a direct bolt on with no need to cut or trim.
This grille perfect fit 2019 RANGER, no need to cut. www.aliexpress.com/item/32993392531.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.50ad4611lwExvP
Great video....Grill looks amazing.
Thanks!
Thanks for showing this.
Is this the $270 one on eBay by auto elegance?
The one in this video is actually an OEM Ford part from Thailand, but I have since actually replaced it with the auto-elegance part due to a better fit. It fills the gap around the edges better than the OEM Raptor grille.
@@J0shM1lls thanks man, great video too.
Are all of the ranger grills interchangeable ?
Between the North American trims, yes. This grille and most other "rest of the world" Rangers could fit with some modification (like I had to do).
How long did it take for you to install? Looks great by the way!
Change the music
Can u just go to the dealership if they can get u one raptor grill
Unfortunately no, I had to order mine from an eBay seller in Thailand because the Raptor doesn't exist in North America.
Where did you get that grille?

So nice. Great job.
Does it fit on a 2017 wildtrak?
Unfortunately we don't get the Wildtrak in the States so I couldn't tell you.
The mods are exactly what I want to do when I get mine. That grill and those BFG 👌 are you leaving the stock rims? Keep the videos coming
Nope, I'll be ordering the Ranger Raptor wheels as soon as they're available from Ford Performance! There'll definitely be more videos!
great,, idk if you know this but I saw a ranger raptor in Mexico last week.. so I don't know if its more convenient to find parts from the south of our border.. at least save some overseas shipping money.. @@J0shM1lls
Thanks for the Mexico tip! I'll keep that in mind
Josh Mills are they available yet
Sorry only i like the original grill on the Ranger. .
Badass ranger. Love it
Can I buy your charcoal grill?
Sorry, already sold.
@@J0shM1lls any link to where I can buy that grill, I'm having trouble finding it :(

Music is wayyy overbearing.
Damn man! It takes eternity just to remove that grill.
Do more video :D of the Ranger
Nice grill - music is hilarious
El óvalo es la que va, queda feo de la otra forma, ni una gota de cromado
