Installed: Mesh on a Laredo Grill

[Robert Palmer]

Well this morning I met up with Paul (Black Mamba) and I bought a PX8 Grill off of him. Great transaction and the grill was perfect. Just needed a cleaning. :)

I installed my Overland mesh onto the Laredo Grill. Thank you TimmyB for your instructions on how to switch it over and it was still a pain in the ass to do. :lol:

Here are some pics:

I wasn't sure how it would look, But I like it much better... What about spraying the grill inserts gloss black w/ a clear coat???

Grille turned out very nice man..... but how the heck were you able to manage to leave the jeep in the middle of the street, go up to wherever you took that picture and not cause traffic?

[Robert Palmer]

Actually I love it the way it is.

[Robert Palmer]

Mon- My brother was walking on the new Park (Highline) and I asked him to snap a pic of me going around the corner.

[White WK Swagga]

Def the black toned it down in the front. Looks more masculine and sporty... I wonder how a black grill would look on a white WK???

[White WK Swagga]

Yeah Highline park is NICE!!! I was up there last thurs... I like the part where you can sit over the street and watch the cars...

[blackpepper]

Nice work, Joe :D looks really good, I couldn't wait to take the chrome grille off my Jeep. Easily one of my top three favorite mods.

[mon_21]

ohhhh, wish I had a brother...... I mean that lives in my area.

[Robert Palmer]

Thanks Ryan!

[tcm glx]

I love that overland grill, is it for sale??

[Robert Palmer]

Sorry Tony, I got to put it back on when I turn in the Jeep in 6 months.

[heehawbus]

lovin teh black color..

[blackpepper]

btw your tires don't look that bald.. drama queen :D

[Robert Palmer]

Oh dude they are horrendous now. Especially in the rain. Curves are fun now. :lol:

[tman4024]

Looks great Joe!

[WBSRT]

That looks great Joe.

[blackpepper]

Is the mesh all one piece or seven individual pieces?

[Robert Palmer]

Thanks Mark and Jeremy!!!


Ryan- Each grille are 2 pieced. One piece is the body painted/chrome part and everything else (slots/mesh and the rest of the plastic) is one piece.

[BillsHoe]

Looking good as always Joe

[Robert Palmer]

Thank You Billy!

[Frankie]

Looks great bro!!!!

[Robert Palmer]

[Frankie]

Thanks Frankie!!!

NP! Id love to do this but I think it would look stupid with my mirrors!?! :(

[Scottina06]

Looks great Joey!

[Robert Palmer]

Thanks Scott!

[iJeep]

Looks AWESOME!!!!! joe.. good job. + Rep

[Robert Palmer]

Thanks Fabian! Got scared when you went to the garage and saw the Jeep with no grill? :lol:

[Matt]

Very nice Joe! Looks great!

Oh dude they are horrendous now. Especially in the rain. Curves are fun now. :lol:

You're telling me, it rained all day yesterday.... HEMI + 2wd + balding tires + rain = fuuun :D

[Marlin]

Looks great Joe! Pretty much the first visual mod to yours isn't it?

[Robert Palmer]

Thanks Matt and Ben!!!


And yes one of my first visual mods. :lol:

[Scottina06]

Joe is a mod NEWB!!!! LOL

[w87will]

I like the black grill. They mesh behind it looks nice also.

[Marlin]

lol, first mod just in time to trade the thing in :D
Hey, while you're on the modding trail, how about getting rid of those mudflaps! (lol, I know I know you dont wanna) :D

[Marlin]

Mudflaps are right up there with dealer number plate surrounds as a "first thing to delete of your new ride" ;)

[Robert Palmer]

I want to but check this out, a few weeks ago I removed them. My face was like this :D until I took a closer look. The mudflaps since they were on so long they left scratches and if the flaps are on, the scratches are covered.

So mudflaps for me. :(

[Megatron]

nice ride playa.

glad to see you enjoyed it. lol @ money snatching, I wanted to see your reaction. its a brooklyn thing.

[Marlin]

Ah thats a shit :( FYI, mine was the same, lots of grit caused scratches behind the flaps on the paint.)
I hated them strongly enough to invest in painting the entire rear bar to get rid of them! lol

[Robert Palmer]

^:lol: @ Paul's post.

So how did the dynomax bullet with no resonator sound? :D

[Robert Palmer]

Ahahahahahaha!!!!

[Chaoul1]

Nice Joey! What did you do with the Overland Grille Piece? Give it too Paul?

[Robert Palmer]

Thanks Paul. And no I didnt give the Overland Grill to Black Mamba. I have it sitting here in my house.

[Dylans3960ccs]

you shoulda parked closer to that Rang Rover it'd make a nice comparo :D

[Scottina06]

dude...RR's are trash

[Dylans3960ccs]

I know but it's more pricey and dirty lol

I only say cuz I thought it'd be intersting to see.

[mjl2610]

Looks good! I want to get the black mesh insert also but since you have to buy the whole thing, i cant afford that right now.

[White WK Swagga]

NP! Id love to do this but I think it would look stupid with my mirrors!?! :(

Hush your mouth. I LOVE the range rover sport supercharged. I just hate when people put huge chrome wheels on them. I love the supercharged wheels on them. If I become wealthy enough I'm getting a white supercharged range rover.

About a month ago I smoked one from a light. The driver and his girl looked at me like a Jeep beat me? :lol:

[White WK Swagga]

Yeah I don't care that it's not as fast as a jeep I just love the style of it. Mg dream garage the white supercharged range would be next to Paul, (medic not mamba) jeep. LOL

[tman4024]

[White WK Swagga]

LOL Yeah Joe your beast is loud. But I love it tho...

[Robert Palmer]

Jeremy-Or that meaning could have also been included with the look I got. :lol:

[Robert Palmer]

LOL Yeah Joe your beast is loud. But I love it tho...

I don't think its loud. :D


Thanks Nate.

[08Hemi]

Looks great! WHERE CAN I GET THE MESH PLASTIC??? I cannot find it anywhere...do I have to buy the whole SRT8 grill???

[Robert Palmer]

My standard Overland grill came with the mesh but I believe to get the mesh, you need the whole grill.

And thanks!!!

[mjl2610]

I tried doin' a little searching one time and yes i believe its all or nothing. :mad:

[mjl2610]

Hush your mouth. I LOVE the range rover sport supercharged.

I also love that suv! A nice ( I also love white!) HSE Sport Supercharged model. :thumbsup:

[QBNKID]

Joe, your jeep now with the black SRT grille is looking more and more like my old '05. It looks great and the pictures look awesome, very creative.

Nate, the RR Sport to me is one of those cars that you see on the road and you think they are beautiful, and they are... The interior on them are incredible too but I don't think I would ever buy one even if I could afford one, just by the plain fact of all the problems they are know to have, not just from what I read on the internet but from the problems I've seen friends having with them. I know a lot of cars are known to have things go wrong with them and none is perfect, but the RR sport is just one of those that I wouldn't come close to.
Don't get me wrong a white RR Sport in white sitting on the garage would look awesome :D.
Just my opinion and my .02¢

[Robert Palmer]

Thanks Mario. I'm loving this mod.

[Megatron]

Thanks Paul.

You're welcome homeboy.

You shoulda seen their faces when 2 black jeeps were together, then rolled out... haha

I LOVE the RR sports, but it's just like the Escalade... they're all over the place. That's why I like the SRT8, far more rare than those two SUV's.

[08Hemi]

RR Sport? Sorry guys, all about the HSE...IMHO the Sport is a wannabe, and having driven extensively 3 HSE's (2 4.6's 1997 and 2000 and 1 HSE 2003) I loved the feel, fit and finish. We had one issue with the air suspension on the 1997, and traded it in for the 2000 for basically nothing...other than that they were great off-road and awesome around town and on the freeway. Don't get me wrong, it is sad to say that my Jeep is faster, handles better and has a better Nav system...but there is nothing like the feel of a Rover. They were slow, but had enough power to get you where you needed to go, and the 400hp SC HSE had a very nice get-up to it when I test drove it (still slower than my Jeep, and I have proven it recently :) ) If I had to buy one, I would buy my Jeep ALL DAY...BUT if you were going to give me one, 2008/09 White Anniversary Edt SC HSE it is!!!

[pkang21]

wanna sell me the mesh grille when u have to take ur jeep back in 6 months!!??

Yeah I know. I like the HSE better than the Sport Just it looks more mature looking. But the HSE is def more classy that the sport. Everyone In Miami has a RR like they're cheap or something.

[B.P.O.D]

nice joe!!! told u it would look better:)

[BUBBADOG]

Joe that does look real dam good bro!!!

[Cyanide]

Looks damn good Joe!!! For some reason though, that grill looks vaguely similar :rolleyes:

Body-color grill FTMFW!!!

[Robert Palmer]

Thanks Irf, Bubba, and Carlo!

[blackpepper]

You've got me thinking.. stillens or no stillens...

Yours looks good because the headlights make the front look angular and taut but with the stillens they bring "up" the overall look of the front fascia...

Hmmmmm

[Megatron]

hook it up with the stillens mr blackpepper....

[blackpepper]

you're first on the list.

[Robert Palmer]

Leave your stillens on Ryan!

[Megatron]

Yeah leave em on though, i like the more black look actually.

Thank you though sir

[Grandcherokee51]

That looks sick are you keeping the overland grille or are you selling it?

[Robert Palmer]

Keeping it and putting it back on when I turn the Jeep in.

[Grandcherokee51]

Keeping it and putting it back on when I turn the Jeep in.

Gotcha so is the quest for the right srt still going on?

[Robert Palmer]

I'm waiting 6 months so I will have nothing from this Jeep rolled into the new one.

[Grandcherokee51]

Nice whoever gets your jeep is gonna be a lucky person the thing is practically brand new lol, ive been watching srts on ebay saw an 06 go for about 20, hopefully next yr when i get rid of mine ill be able to get myself into one, sorry for the off topic.

[Robert Palmer]

There is no way I am getting a used SRT. I guarantee you that every mile on that used one is from excessive abuse. :D


Brand Spankin New for me.

[Megatron]

I guarantee you that every mile on that used one is from excessive abuse. :D
