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 Excursion, F250 Super Duty and F350 Super Duty (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 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.

No, you do not need to remove the factory bumper. The installation uses the factory bolts that hold the bumper to secure the frame mount brackets. The manual notes that you must install one bracket at a time to prevent the bumper from dropping too low.
1. Remove 2 factory bolts from each side of the vehicle front. 2. Attach the passenger-side frame mount bracket to the front bumper using the factory bolts and hand-tighten. 3. Repeat for the driver-side bracket. 4. Align the 3 holes on the lower front bar with the 3 holes on each frame mount bracket and attach using 3 hex bolts, 6 flat washers, and 3 hex lock nuts per side; hand-tighten. 5. Align the front bar to the vehicle bumper and center it. 6. Tighten all 6 bolts supporting the front bar, then tighten the 4 factory frame mount bracket bolts.
You must install one bracket at a time to keep the bumper from dropping too low. Installing both brackets simultaneously could allow the bumper to sag excessively during the installation process.
Yes, you reuse the 2 factory bolts from each side of the vehicle front to secure the frame mount brackets to the bumper. These same bolts are then tightened in the final step of installation.
First, hand-tighten the factory bolts securing the frame mount brackets to the bumper. Then hand-tighten the 6 hex bolts (3 per side) connecting the front bar to the frame mount brackets. Once the front bar is centered on the vehicle bumper, tighten the 6 bolts supporting the front bar. Finally, tighten the 4 factory frame mount bracket bolts to complete installation.
Each side uses (3) 1/2" × 1¼" hex head bolts, (6) 1/2" flat washers, and (3) 1/2" hex lock nuts. The washers and nuts are distributed across the 3 bolts.
No. The Aries 3045 is sold as a decorative accessory and should not be relied upon as protection for the vehicle or occupants in the event of a collision or rollover. Aries Automotive assumes no liability for injury, loss, or damages in the event of a collision or rollover.
Protect the finish with a non-abrasive automotive wax. Do not use soap, polish, or wax that contains abrasives, as these compounds scratch the finish and expose it to corrosion. The Aries 3045 has a high finish that must be maintained like any other high-finish product on the vehicle.
The Aries 3045 and 3045-2 fit 1999–2003 Ford F250/F350 SuperDuty (2/4WD) and 2000–2002 Ford Excursion (2/4WD).

Use only non-abrasive automotive wax. Avoid abrasive soaps, polishes, or waxes, which will scratch the finish and cause corrosion.
