Getting cold in Wyoming and I am thinking of a winter front. Just looking for some advice on brand and where to buy. Price matters, but quality/function are more important. Would not hurt if it looked good. Pictures?

Thanks in advance for your advice

I was eyeballing the Alaska Tent and Awning one, the one that goes under the grille.

Blown32, I have a lund cold front here for my 3rd gen that was stolen. I'd be happy to give it to a DTR member for a negligible. amount of money. You'd need to buy new fasteners for it which would be like $1 at Home Depot.

Cloud Rider products are manufactured right here in my home town. Very good quality products.

I was unable to find their newest products.

I have a black Sport grill screen from them.

Only thing I did not like was it would rub or buffet against the edges of the grill and this scuffed the paint.



I think I will do something else this winter.

hey blown 32 check out my picts my winter fronts are from cloud rider and cost me about $120 Canadian. They work well to protecting the rad from rock chips. not to mention they look awesome I think.

How cold does it need to be to use a winter front?

anything below 10deg Celsius and i would put them on, the nice thing about them is that they protect all your heat exchangers up front from rocks and debris.(tranny cooler, radiator, intercooler,oil cooler,etc.) Last winter I put mine on and I noticed a difference of having good heat in less then 5 minutes with the cold fronts on compared to 10 mins with out them this was in minus 40 deg weather. A piece of cardboard works just as well, if you dont want to or dont have the money, either way they help your engine get up to temp quicker then with out them.
