Where to buy Winter Front in Calgary?

I can't seem to find any on the internet but I'll keep looking. If someone can save me some time, I need one for this year.

TIA

True, but I want a good one. I saw one of your posts about Lund but can't find any information on their site so maybe they don't make them any more.

Dodge has a nice one that covers the hole front end. In the middle there is a square in it for when it gets warmer you have the option to close it up. They are pretty nice. Dont quote me on the price but I think I saw them at the dealer for $130.00

I second the dodge one, really nice fit. And dang, it sure sure works well. Been -40 or lower here the last few days and the truck is nice and toasty.

i also have the cloud rider products, although mine are not meant for winter - but great fit & finish.

i use a piece of plasticized cardboard (politician lawn sign) between the radiator and intercooler. i also remove the fan in the winter. should i need more - i will take some more of the sign and cut them the cloud-rider grille insert shapes . . .

for the 3rd gens - mopar sells a kit which includes the winter front (behind grille) and also battery warmer/blankets. don't know the cost though.

That's what I thought but I can't find a dealer that lists one on line so I figured they may not have them anymore. I'll catch one tomorrow and see, thanks everyone.

Here is the one I am thinking off. According to Derrick Dodge on there website they are selling for $175.00 Canadian. Wish they made them for the second gens.

I just slid a old beer flat in between the rad and the intercooler. Just to cover half of the rad. I don't like restricting air flow into the intercooler. A weather front just covers the grille and I didn't see as much improvement as my beer flat trick.

The 3rd Gen winter front is pricey but a very nice piece. I think I paid over $150, 4 years ago.

If you are going to keep the truck for more than a few years it would be worth it.
