i drive to work on a highway that is well travelled by dump trucks coming out of the boston area. these said trucks like to litter rt. 93 with radiator and windshield seeking rocks (nickel - quarter sized). anyone have a recommendation on an insert for my grille?

No kidding! I drive 93 everyday and had to replace windshield already, I've only had my Jeep for 4 months

Find some 1/4" perferated steel, or smaller. I have some 3/8"it was 5 bucks a squre foot but its very strong, lets air in and if you get a smaller size should help ya

Forget the gutter guard sh.t unless you have radiator killing leaves on the highway or if you just like to make it look (poser) like it does something.
******** billet aluminum grille inserts (ebay) work better than anything else I've seen. Bolted into position.
Won't recommend for older XJ Cherokees because they are plastic tie wrapped in place.
They're the cat's ass for JK. (Old timer terminology.......You wouldn't understand)

Supplier's name blacked out by moderators....you can find them.

I did the Rampage 3D, costly but the best looking out there. I did it for the same reason. You'll have to adjust the brackets though, nothing Channel Locks won't fix.

Put the perferated in place of the gutter mesh

Just did my grille insert . Very cheap and easy mod, and looks so much better.
