There's no reason that couldn't be done.

Thank you very much!

 

The comparison with factory JK is striking. It makes the factory grill look like a toy. Nice work!

 

Thank you.

 

One final detail for a factory-style result - the factory grille has a weatherstrip across the top to seal the grille to the hood. I ordered one last week but it didn't arrive until today. It's now in place.



It's finally a nice day so I took the Jeep through a car wash and this afternoon I took a bunch of "project complete" photos; will post a bunch later today.

 

"Grille Project Complete" photos.

 

A few more...

 

To show the difference with the new grille I also took some photos to match up with photos I took when I finished the flat fender project.







It's rare that the entire fleet is clean at the same time so I took a few photos of all the Jeeps, these photos are good for comparing with grills of earlier models... the black one on the left is a 2006 Wrangler Unlimited with my CJ Grille Kit and LJ Safari Cab installed. In the center is the 2013 JKU with the JL Style Grille, CJ-2a style flat fenders and a JKU Safari Cab. And the pickup on the right came out of the factory as another 2006 Wrangler Unlimited; I turned it into a pickup about 9 years ago. Total of the three odometers is a little bit under 400,000 miles.

 

I can now declare the grille project officially done. Thanks to everyone for your input during the process.

 

I bet you get a lot of confused looks over your Jeeps.

 

Yes and it gets old. I've been driving the pickup for 9 years now and almost every time I drive it someone comes up to me in a parking lot to talk to me about it. I just want to go about my business and I always have to stop and be nice to people .
