Removing front grille and tailgate Ford Blue Oval Emblems

[fordgt]

Yes, it was a year ago and I got 3 quotes. $150, $200 & $250. Went with the $150 guy and he did it while I waited.

I assume so. I'm planning to purchase them painted from a guy in FL and he'll ship them to me. I dread trying to get them apart though. Especially the front grille.

As far as I can remember the front wasn't bad to remove I think I had to pull the top of the grille out a little and remove the nuts from the back of the emblem. The tailgate emblem I think I had to pry off it had clips. I don't have the Ranger anymore. I traded it in for a new 2025 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 at the end of August.

It’s not difficult to remove the emblems,the front you access from behind the grill,and the rear pries off.
Taking them apart to paint,requies the gentle approach,as they are fragile at the O.

I liked my Ranger but I put my Corvette away for the winter so I wanted something a little more bold and sporty than the Ranger for the winter. Also, the Ranger didn't have a full time all-wheel-drive mode which I wanted for my wife.

Do you have to take the grill off the truck to get the front one off?

Depends on the size of your hands,you can fit them back there,but once you’ve undone everything from the top and pulled it forward,its just as simple to pop the few remaining clips to release the bottom.

Makes sense. Just as easy to remove it.

On a seperate note: do you know if the Ranger Raptor side steps fit on the XLT?

I do not,I can’t imagine there being a differenice in the main portions of the frames between the 2 models.
i realize some suspension mounting points are different,but not having had them side by side,who knows..
