Steel grill mesh

[SolidusJ]

I know I've have seen this before and been planing this for well over a year so here goes. I found this mesh when I had the huge hole cut out on the HMMWV plate and I thought it would be a great idea to use the same stuff on the grill. I have it all cut out and painted just need some zip ties and then I'm all done.

Looks good so far. Can't wait to see the finished product...

Did that to mine over a year ago. Some of the paint has come off. I probably rushed while painting it but other than that it's still holding up great

Just remember to leave a gap in the one with the hood release

I was thinkin it would look really cool if you cut out all the intermediate bars of the grille, and installed a single long piece of that mesh. It would require some body work to the grille but, I've seen Hi-fi guys do similar stuff when making speaker enclosures (kitty hair). Might end up looking more like an FJ-Cruiser grille....

Would make a sweet spot for two 30" LED bars stacked on one another too

Here's mine after I did it. I used a gutter guard from Home Depot, looks like you used actual expanded metal.

I need to respray mine or just redo it. Watch out for the metal edges if you reach in to open the hood latch. I bent mine over and added rubber trim to it so I wouldn't jack up my hand everytime I opened the hood.

I knew it!!!! Sorry to rip you off but I have really bad OCD and need my stuff dress-right-dress. You don't know how how much it kills me to have my CB antenna on the right side of me bed and the hi-lift on the left side.

Idk but the 7 slot front grill is such a icon that I wouldn't be able to live with them.

I like it, I did mine to keep piles of leaves from gathering between the bumper and radiator

its not extremely noticeable, but looks cool when you know its there, and it does serve some function...

or this style

although overpriced IMO..but both are available in both chrome or powdercoat black. They seem higher quality, and certainly offer a different look.
