Thinking about spraying my grille with some bedliner when I have it off to install my tranny cooler. I was wondering what you guys do to get the Jeep emblem off of it, and what you do to prep the grille then? I found some sprayon bedliner in a arosol can at my local autozone, I think its made by duplicolor. Is this the stuff everyone is using?

 

I think there is an install in the JK-Write-ups Section! Will look good!

 

I had mine Line Xed for about $150. The Duplicolor just doesnt last.

Heat the Jeep emblem with a hairdryer and it will pull right off.




I ended up puting the Jeep emblem back on.

 

here's an example of the grille mod.

thats the jeep that actually got me thinking about doing it in the first place. Thanks. I think I'm definately gonna do it now. I think it'll look good with Jeep Green.

That looks sweet! I was thinking about having the inside of mine down with LineX or Rhinoliner to protect the floors while I have the carpets out. Leave enough room around the drain plugs of course so everything seals up good and tight. I really like how they paint matched the color of your Jeep.

 

Each to their own. I can definitely see the reasoning behind doing it, but just can't say I'm a fan of the look.

But thumbs up for taking the leap.

 

I did mine a while back then sold the Jeep, there are pics somewhere on this forum. I just pryed the jeep emblem off (it is pretty hot down here in Texas) and glued it back with gorilla glue.

 

The new Line X Kevlar wont fade like the old Line X. I keep a good UV protectant on it too.

 

I could see two reasons, as the bedliner would hold up better than the thin paint-job on the grill.

- If you ride in HEAVEY trees (my situation), they attack the paint everywhere, especially the front and sides. I'm rockin' some pretty good pin-striping (mind you I like it ).

- Or drive on highways/freeways commonly. The entire front of the Jeep is a rock magnet. Don't know about the roads in the US but there's a lot of gravel on the roads up here in Alberta.


Like I said previously, I don't like, but it has reasoning behind it.
