grille guard for 2000 gmc Sierra 1500?

Postby TennesseeStud901 [OP] » Dec 06 2011, 3:46am

hey guys, i have been looking for a beefy grille guard for my Sierra. but its hard to find a good looking one for my year. im not fan of the westins, not beefy enough for me. i love the ranchers and ranch hand. but they dont sell the beefy ones for my year. i was wondering if anybody thinks the newer years will fit my 00. or would a 2500 fit my 1500? i know it might look a little big on my truck, but thats fine with me. im just trying to see if the brackets and everything will fit properly.

here are some pics of what im lookin for

I got a Warn Trans4mer grill guard for mine. It was pricey, but man it is stout and looks good. I also mounted my winch on it (with the optional winch carrier). I did not put the brush guards on it, but you can get them as an option.

don't know if you are still looking at this thread but the frame is the same width and you can make it work but you will need to do some minor modifying... what you do is call ranch hand and order the brackets for the truck you have, first put the brackets on the truck then lign the grill guard up, drill the new holes for mounting in the grill guard and bolt it up. now keep in mind that from year to year the body lines can change substantially. for example the new sierra has a much more rounded front end than previous body styles so it has a much more rounded grill guard. when i did mine it was using a new chevy grill guard on a new gmc and although not perfect, it did work
