[@jameshudson9479]

Looks great,good job 👍🏻

[@floridafenceland1137]

Thank you bud!

[@joeg8236]

It’s crazy how a grill and a bumper can make a truck look 10x better

[@jacobstacko3056]

Dude I really appreciate your videos. I’m working on saving up for a clean second gen right now and your content is nothing but motivation for me. Keep up the amazing work man!! 💪

[@floridafenceland1137]

Hey man, you know that really Means a lot to me, I work hard on making quality educational videos that aren’t too boring! I’ve got some cool stuff coming up in a few days! Thanks for the support! Tell your friends lol

[@ravemaster7405]

Thanks for the video I have a 12v that looks just like this but the 2500 not a dually. Same silver color too. I'm going to save up some money and do this.

[@darinwardwell1583]

Good job man I like the sport vs 4 gen bumper💣

[@floridafenceland1137]

Thank you man

[@vacountryboylifestyle5097]

Ok first of all truck looks bad ass man! Second of all. What size tires are you running and are you running spacers in the rear? Thanks

[@floridafenceland1137]

Thanks man! 315/75/16 watch my latest truck video and i explain why I run no spacers in the rear

[@rowdy5.9L]

I’ve got a 99 3500 sport and I think I’m the only person in existence who likes the older looking front end better. I might do a swap idk

[@brandoncrowder6327]

Did you just bolt up the sports grill with the original grill brackets on your truck ? And the only thing didn’t line up right was the latch? Im just making sure that’s right.

[@floridafenceland1137]

Yes sir!

[@brooksontherink]

Where did you get the bumper and grille? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find anything

[@gabrielblair6553]

Did u happen to figure out the latch issue could u cut and weld a piece to the slt latch to make it work for the sport?

[@acealabamacoldexpress2460]

So is a bracket conversion kit needed or can you use the factory brackets without any special work?

[@ThatDudeFlex1]

I was also wondering if there are no links for where you got your stuff!!

[@kelseyforst6171]

Yes its needed

[@kylestrachan8443]

Just bought a 12 valve 1996 dually like yours here. I found a sport bumper and grille combo but the grille bracket/frame is rotted away. Typical here in canada, can I just take grille frame off the stock crappy chrome one and put it on the sport one grille?

[@floridafenceland1137]

That I am not 100% sure on, but it is possible I’ve never tried it

[@johnc7573]

Hey I’m looking to do the opposite. Convert my sport front end to chrome front. Will I be able to do that if I find the bumper and all the trim and chrome grille? You wana sell me your old parts? Thanks.

[@carlos24v3]

Looks good! Did you use the old grille bracket on the sport one?

[@floridafenceland1137]

I have used that before! And it does work but grill had the sport brackets so I used them

[@bcoleman2100]

Wondering about your mirrors and headlights? What are they and are you happy with them? Looking to change mine out as well.

[@floridafenceland1137]

Yeah the mirrors are awesome they are 4th Gen style much better than the older ones; and the headlights work well!

[@prattgraphics5777]

headlights? What are they thx

[@bcoleman2100]

Thanks Mike. R your mirrors stock 4th gen or aftermarket? I see a lot of junk aftermarket online, wondering what make you have, and the make of your headlights?😀

[@floridafenceland1137]

They are after market 4th Gen style but made for a 2nd gen

[@floridafenceland1137]

Amazon black housings!

I think you are my biggest fan

[@oldcroneysgarage9739]

@@floridafenceland1137 you sir are right

[@knightmareking1342]

Did you use the same bracket to mount the sport grille ? TIA

[@floridafenceland1137]

Yes

[@mile_highexo9348]

Will it also work for a 2002?

[@brendonpurbaugh4073]

Are you gonna put sport headlights in

[@floridafenceland1137]

I was but the truck is gone now

[@digitalgavakie]

What year sport bumpers and grill do you use?

[@garrettbenavides3672]

Very nice truck what is the paint called on you truck

[@floridafenceland1137]

I know it’s not ps2!

[@chrisbastin1040]

So does the sport bumper just bolt right on like the stock bumper would? I have a 4th gen bumper on my 2nd gen right now but I think the sport looks a lot cleaner. I’ve been wanting to switch I just don’t know exactly how it goes on or if I would need to buy any brackets for it

[@floridafenceland1137]

It bolts right on! Same as stock bumper! I think it’s cleaner too I’m not a fan of the 4th gens on 2nd gens much but I know they are really popular

[@TheRealKozyy]

I know this is old but do you guys know where to find a sport bumper? I have one but it’s dented up. Can’t find one anywhere online at all.

[@floridafenceland1137]

They are kinda hard to come by

[@knightmareking1342]

Amazon has 4gen bumper brackets for 2gen i just installed mine looks way sharper

[@Daverodd06]

What year is your truck

[@reowhite4862]

That bumper was in awefull shape u can can get a brand new one for around 125$ish and painting it would have been so easy

[@floridafenceland1137]

Yeah it wasn’t the best, I got it for like 80$ and painted it for 30 so 110$ In it and I traded it for stock and ranch hand brush guard so I made out pretty good

[@boooyaaababy651]

@@floridafenceland1137 You cant find sport bumpers re manufactured anywhere in canada !

[@floridafenceland1137]

I believe it!

[@Daverodd06]

What sanding paper did you use

[@ethanbrown3811]

What size tires were on the truck in this video?

I support Florida youtubers

[@floridafenceland1137]

I appreciate it bud!

[@communitytube8378]

Are the bumper brackets the same for both bumpers ?

[@floridafenceland1137]

Yes they are the same

[@ubaldo24v81]

Good luck trying to take out the headlights

[@floridafenceland1137]

I sold the bumper lol

[@obsangel2695]

Does it just bolt right on?

[@floridafenceland1137]

For the most part yes

[@obsangel2695]

Is there anything I have to look out for ? I just have the sport bumper not the grille.

[@floridafenceland1137]

Just make sure the bumper has the factory brackets to bolt to frame and your good

[@derekbartle4608]

I have a sport bumper and it doesn't bolt up my trucks a 95 and not sure what to do

[@Daverodd06]

Did you figured it out , you have to drill a hole in order to align and bolt it

[@patriotic_12v85]

The grill looks awesome but I would of done a 4th gen just personal taste 🤷🏼‍♂️ good job painting tho

[@floridafenceland1137]

Thanks man! Not a huge fan of the 4th gens on these trucks but done right they look alright!

[@johndeere0930]

What size tires and lift do you have? Looks good!

[@floridafenceland1137]

2 inch leveling kit up front and 35s

[@Kyle_Godfrey111]

The Diesel Ranch and rubbing issues?

[@floridafenceland1137]

None at all buddy!

[@Kyle_Godfrey111]

The Diesel Ranch wow. Must be nice. I have 2 inch level and my 33s rub. But they are 12 wides..

[@floridafenceland1137]

Yeah I had another cummins a few years ago and I had 12 wides and they rubbed too, it happens I used to like all the big wheels but as I get older I really enjoy stock wheels
