Alright, I want to verify something before I rip Hunter a new one.
First, a little background, I ordered a full Hunter grill guard from populalink.com at the beginning of this month.
Long story short; their customer service SUCKS.
The first grill was damaged and hardware was missing so I shipped it back and finally received a new one.
See this thread for more details.
Well this grill looks better, but I appear to be short on hardware again.
So I'd like to verify the necessary hardware with those that have installed the Hunter grill guard.
The parts I received are:
The three grill pieces. (Six holes to mount the main section to the mounting brackets and six holes to mount both headlight guard sections.)
Two large mounting brackets to use on he cross member.(Two holes each to mount to the cross member, 3 holes each to mount to the main section of the guard.
Two brackets that sit on top of the cross member. (Two threaded holes in each.)
Two Brackets that go from the outside edges of the grill guard to the core support. (One hole at each end of each. NOT threaded.)
7 of the largest bolts
5 of the shorter "large" bolts
4 nuts that fit either of the above bolts (I figure I am missing at least two of these.)
12 split lock washers.
About 15 or so large flat washers.
6 smaller bolts with included washers on each secured by nylock nuts.
2 smaller bolts and 2 smaller washers in their own bag.
2 small threaded "1 hole" braces for where the outer braces mount to the core support.
That's all I received.
I figure I'm missing 2 large nuts to secure the last two bolts between the center section of the grill guard and the mounting brackets. Plus I see no hardware to attach the outer support braces to the grill guard. I'm assuming the baggy with two smaller bolts and two washers are to be used with the small core support braces. But there does not appear to be anything included to attach the forward section of this brace to actual grill guard tabs.
How can you mount this thing using 16 bolts (with presumably two spares since there is an odd number of the short and long large bolts), 6 nylock nuts, 4 standard large nuts , and 4 threaded brackets with two holes each?
That’s 16 bolts, and 14 places that are threaded.
Not to mention there is nothing included to attach the upper support straps to the grill guard.
Just counting the holes, it should take 20 bolts, 14 nuts, and the 4 pre-threaded brackets (2 of which with 2 holes each) to put this thing together. This would make sense because that’s 20 holes, 20 things to put in them, and 20 places to screw them into. :razz:
Am I missing something or am I missing hardware?
Thanks for any help.
