living in NY city i need to be able to protect the front of the truck.. does anyone have pics of the front of a gen ten with grille guards on it and the cost of such mods?

If you're looking for a grille guard that will actually protect your truck, do NOT but one of those flashy, chrome bolt-on ones.
They may look nice, but if they get hit, or you hit anything(deer), they will cause more damage than what would have happened without it.
If you are serious about getting a grille guard, get one that is hand-built and is an extension off of the also hand-built STEEL bumper.
They are strong enough to hit a deer at 80+ mph, and not even hardly scratch the paint.
Work as great push bumpers, and you can get them with built in tow hooks, winch mounts, and recievers also.
A good one like that here runs anywheres from$275-$450.
Most welding shops and iron or steel working shops do, or will build these at a reasonable price.

Here is a shot of mine, i built it with some flat steel and tubing. It doesn't protect much, but is much sturdier than you would think...

Hey doc how did you install those cut outs on your truck?
Did you just hack saw them out and bolt them in?

Check out this, this may help give you an idea...

There are some other shots in the album also
