15" X 28"

 

thats exactly what i wanna do... that a custom job or did you buy it from somewhere?

 

That looks great!

 

Bought the metal and primer and satin black paint, it's held in place by zip ties and the little square self adhesive zip tie blocks, I wasn’t the first one to do this it's copied off of someone else the only thing I did different is the pattern of the expanded metal is vertical.

 

Grill looks excellent. I am trying to do the same thing, but where do you buy the metal? I looked at home depot, but no luck! Is there a special name for it? Thanks ahead of time for your response....

 

Looks great! Nice job.

 

There are other threads on this on other boards - I guess this board filters out the URLs with other jeep boards.. :(

Curious - are people doing this for looks (which it does look good) or also to avoid items getting in the grill?

 

I did it for both reasons, I've got a few good stone hits in the radiator that kinked the fins, I guess lucky not the windshield yet.
I used that alum extruded gutter leaf guard material, I think it came from home depot as I've had it for awhile. Its pretty easy to form. I cut out 7 pieces
3 1/4" wide by 13" long and then just used a couple pieces of wood to sandwich the cut alum pieces so I could get a nice straight bend along the longsides. So you end up with 2 1/2 wide centers. Premiered and painted flat black. Then laid the pieces over the slots and secured dn along the side with a hot glue gun all around with a dab of glue about every couple inches.
Everyone that sees it thinks its stock.

 

Just kidding, actually its leaf gutter guard material. :toung:

 

Very nice. So it is said that plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery....so I think I'm going to flatter you and copy that!
