Lower Grill on a WK

[robpp]

[Matt]

the top one Diamond XXL

they have a scrap page i was able to get a 48 x 12 piece for pretty cheap.
painted it grey and cleared.

I didnt take off the whole bumper, I removed the lower piece, then there are 3 bolts hold it in down there. took those out and this thing slides in. going to use 2-3 tiny little zip ties to make sure it doesnt move. then if I ever get the bumper off. Ill can try a more permanent mount.

Nice one rob, I was in home depot actually looking for mesh grills.

So here are the install pics. I only wish the mesh was cut different and I could ahve turned it 90 degrees. I think it would match better then.

So here is a pic showing the 3 bolts I removed to get access to slide my grill in.

I didnt even use any zipties. The very front part is sandwhich between the bumper and the metal support and once I put the lower screws back in, its good and snug.

If i ever take the bumper off, Ill do a more permanent install, but for now it doesnt move or wiggle hardly at all.

Thanks Hannes. If it was turned 90 degrees it would be a perfect smaller version. But for now, should be good to go!

[psycojeep]

That look sweet I am thinking of doing the same on mine only in Stainless

[B.P.O.D]

cool thanks for the info rob!!! looks great!!! i have to see how i would do that on mine b/c we have that removable piece so i think it might be more difficult to do:(

[robpp]

they sell a lower grill for the 08+. about a hundo on eBay.

maybe painted or powdercoated black.

[B.P.O.D]

thanks rob!!! i gotta check to see if that is only for the srt8 bumper or if it will fit the reg wk as well:)

[Matt]

Looks sick Rob!! Good work!!

[blackpepper]

Nice work Rob!

[White WK Swagga]

Looks nice, I dig it Mucho!!!

[Megatron]

Mr. Rob, that is very nice.

Too bad i cannot do it, the area is blocked by the damn brush guard LOL. dammet...

[Scottina06]

awesome! +rep Rob!

[mjl2610]

Nice work, Looks good!

[jeepnjeep]

I like it, good job.

[Bigdiesel74]

make me one???

[Raymond]

Another great mod to your already fantastic looking Jeep, Rob. Do you think diamond woven stainless would work? I notice you had to put quite a bend in the mesh.
Ray

[robpp]

Hi Raymond, the mesh i used was aluminum. i dont see why SS wouldnt bend just as easy.

[Frankie]

AWESOME Rob...I LOVE IT!!!!!

[Robert Palmer]

This looks bad ass Rob!

[jeepnjeep]

Got the mesh installed. I didn't do what you did, but instead replaced the ugly plactic in the original grill with the mesh. I got the powdercoated version. First pic is original grill.

[robpp]

looks good but yeah on the top i might consider taking everything out that you can see the verticals as well as the horizontals.

[Megatron]

I Agree with rob.

I feel its too much going on. But its a good job

[Scottina06]

I like it...its different

[bur1196]

Thanks for the input. The main reason for this is to keep the rad in good shape if possible, it looks terrible at the bottom...

[robpp]

so while i had the hood painted i took off the front grill and headlights to save 50 bucks so i had time to attach my lower mesh correctly. I just had it sandwhiched in there before.

SO I trimmed my mesh to fit in the opening using slots n the bottom wo fit around the little humps. themn i drilled some real small holes 3/32 and used ss safety wire and a pliers to twist it.

here some pics

from the front

from back

[B.P.O.D]

[robpp]

i swear it took me about 30 minutes.

[B.P.O.D]

[08Hemi]

[tlmatiko]

kinda but I'm not a big chrome fan

[08Hemi]

^^ then get a black grill! get all murdered out haha...

[Fourbynut]

Like the look of the mesh, may have to attempt this mod.
