    Thought I would see if anyone has any experience with the Aries Grill Guards? I have a Pro Grill that seems to stick out a little more than stock and was wondering if there would be a clearance issue with the Grill Guard?

    I don't have a pro grill, but I am extremely interested in purchasing this grill guard.

    Does anyone have any experience with this one? I need to make sure that it doesn't interfere with my front license plate and I need to determine which 30" light bar will fit in this.

    I agree, the head light loops more match the round 2nd gen headlights than our sleek slim headlights on the 3rd gen.

    But for the price and look, it's not bad! I'm having trouble finding a similar grill guard that covers both the grill and the headlights, and allows for an LED light bar.

    Finally got in touch with tech support at Aries. I was told that if the grill does not stick out past the bumper, should be good. I found this picture...looks to be close.

    Did you happen to install the Aeries Pro? If so can you tell me how far it sticks out from the front bumper? I have a small garage and only a few inches of clearance as it is, and would like to make sure before I get the grille guard installed.

    He was last here in February of '18. You probably won't get an answer from him.

    I had one. It was great. Super protective. Knocked off a few side mirrors on accident maybe. Over all not enough front end center protection. But will definitely be able to help in a bumper collision. I recently ordered something with more protection and now have a heavy duty Rugged grill guard. 8A4035B5-AB54-421E-821F-42474C7119C6.jpg2D7F5A2C-8086-4977-BC1F-DA890248F4A2.jpg
