For the conqueror in every truck, Jeep or SUV owner, the ARIES grille guard offers the tough, trail-ready look you demand. It begins with a one-piece frame of 1/4" thick welded plates and 1-1/2" mandrel-bent tubing for a solid build. Each one is made with a vehicle-specific design for a better fit, easier install and more secure mounting. The side brush guards are custom-bent to contour to the profile of your vehicle, while the mounting brackets are positioned for a no-drill application. This means pre-existing factory holes are used to ensure optimum fitment and less vibration. This particular custom grille guard fits specific years of the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute (see application info to verify). The ARIES grille guard also makes it easy to customize the look of your vehicle. Not only does the crossbar have two pre-drilled holes for mounting aftermarket LED lights, but many of our grille guards are also available in two finish options -- polished stainless steel or semi-gloss black steel. The stainless steel grille guard is made with 304 stainless, being high in nickel content and truly resistant to rust and corrosion. This option comes with a mirror-like polished finish for a definitive shine. The semi-gloss black grille guard is made with high-strength carbon steel for added strength. It features a tough, dual-layer E-coat and black powder coat finish to protect against rust, scratches and the elements. All ARIES grille guards also come with rubber stripping along the risers to protect the frame against scuffs and scratches.

The ARIES Black Steel Grille Guard, Select Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute Grille Guard (Part #BBDR3062) fits the following vehicles: 2008-2012 Ford Escape; 2008-2011 Mazda Tribute. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The ARIES Black Steel Grille Guard, Select Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute Grille Guard (Part #BBDR3062) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
No. The Curt 3062 is designed for 2008–2012 Ford Escape models only. The installation procedure differs between 2008 models and 2009–2012 models due to differences in factory cross-member hole threading.
The kit includes: 1 Grille Guard, 2 frame mounting brackets (driver and passenger side), 2 top brackets (driver and passenger side), 4 10-1.50mm x 30mm hex bolts, 4 10mm lock washers, 6 10mm x 27mm OD x 3mm flat washers, 4 10mm x 20mm OD x 2mm flat washers, 4 10mm nylon lock nuts, 2 10-1.5mm x 25mm rod bolts, 4 8-1.25mm x 30mm hex bolts, 2 8-1.25mm x 25mm bolt plates, 4 8mm lock washers, 6 8mm x 24mm OD x 2mm flat washers, 4 8-1.25mm threaded inserts, 1 8mm insert tool, 2 8mm nylon lock nuts, 6 12-1.75mm x 30mm hex head bolts, 2 6-1.0mm x 30mm Phillips screws, 12 12mm ID x 24mm OD x 2.5mm flat washers, 2 6mm lock washers, 6 12mm nylon lock nuts, 2 6mm x 12mm OD x 1.6mm flat washers, and 2 10-1.50mm x 25mm button head bolts.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'Do not attempt installation alone; personal injury or damage to the vehicle may result.' Two people are required for installation, particularly when positioning the grille guard up to the mounting brackets.
Remove the front factory plastic shroud and air dam from under the front of the vehicle and place them on a clean, stable working surface. Pay close attention to the location of factory hardware for easy reassembly. Verify all parts are present before starting.
Yes. Cutting is required. You must cut a 3/4-inch wide slot on each marked location on the air dam (the air dam will be in three pieces when reinstalled) and a 1-1/4-inch wide by 4-inch long slot in each plastic splash guard to clear the mounting brackets. Use a hacksaw. Remove only the minimum amount of material to maintain strength.
The manual does not provide a comprehensive tool list. The 8mm Insert Tool is included in the kit. A hacksaw is required for cutting the air dam and splash guards. Standard hand tools (wrenches or sockets for hex bolts and nuts) are implied but not explicitly listed.
The main difference is in the cross-member holes. On 2008 models, the two factory holes on the upright end of the front cross member are already threaded to 10-1.5mm. On 2009–2012 models, these holes are not threaded, so you must install 8mm threaded inserts using the included 8mm Insert Tool before attaching the mounting bracket. The fastener sizes also differ: 2008 uses 10mm x 30mm hex bolts, while 2009–2012 uses 8mm x 30mm hex bolts.
1. Select the 8mm Threaded Insert Tool, 1 8mm Threaded Insert, 1 8mm Flat Washer, and 1 8mm x 30mm Hex Bolt. 2. Assemble the tool as shown in the manual figures. 3. Insert the assembly into the factory hole. 4. Hold the tool handle and assembly up tight against the cross member. 5. Tighten the hex bolt until the insert is fully expanded into the hole. Do not over-tighten or a pull-out may occur. 6. Once the metal insert is fully compressed, remove the bolt and tool. 7. Repeat for the second hole and for the driver side mounting bracket installation. Optionally, removing the plastic bumper cover may make this step easier.
Do not tighten any hardware until Step 12. After positioning and leveling the grille guard and all brackets, tighten all hardware at that time. This allows for proper alignment and adjustment before final tightening.
The passenger side mounting bracket is secured to the previously installed rod bolt using 1 10mm flat washer and 1 10mm nylon lock nut. Do not tighten at this time; final tightening occurs in Step 12.
The grille guard is attached to the mounting brackets using 6 12mm x 30mm hex bolts, 12 12mm flat washers, and 6 12mm nylon lock nuts. Do not tighten at this time; final tightening occurs in Step 12.
The grille guard is attached to the top brackets using 2 10mm x 25mm button head bolts, 4 10mm flat washers, and 2 10mm nylon lock nuts. Do not tighten at this time; final tightening occurs in Step 12.
After cutting the air dam and splash guards to clear the mounting brackets, reinstall them using the factory screws removed in Step 2. At the two mounting locations where the brackets pass through, replace the factory hardware with the included 6mm x 30mm Phillips screws, 6mm lock washers, and 6mm flat washers. The air dam will be in three pieces when reinstalled.
Wax the product after installing. Regular waxing is recommended to add a protective layer over the finish. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used to polish small scratches and scuffs, and mild soap may be used to clean. For gloss black finishes, use mild soap to clean. Do not use any type of polish or wax that may contain abrasives, as these could damage the finish.
Perform periodic inspections to ensure that all hardware is secure and tight. The manual does not specify an inspection interval.
The Curt 3062 fits 2008–2012 Ford Escape models only. Installation differs between 2008 and 2009–2012 due to cross-member hole differences.
Two people are required. The manual states: 'Do not attempt installation alone; personal injury or damage to the vehicle may result.'
Yes. You must cut a 3/4-inch wide slot in the air dam and a 1-1/4-inch by 4-inch slot in each splash guard using a hacksaw to clear the mounting brackets.
Do not tighten any hardware until Step 12, after positioning and leveling the grille guard. Then tighten all hardware at once.
Wax the product after installation and regularly thereafter. Use mild soap to clean. Do not use abrasive polish or wax. For stainless steel, aluminum polish may be used on small scratches.
