Mesh grills for TJ - Thx NTX JK

After reading NTX's post on installing mesh grills I decided to try it myself.

See here http://www.myjeepforum.net/write-up-s-how-to-s-f11/mesh-grill-for-jk-for-10-probably-others-too-t1791.htm?sid=050377df498bb6758438a4d41f920a0b

I followed his instructions with a few exceptions. Turns out that it is alot harder to remove the grill on the TJ. Instead of only 4 plastic screws, it was 23 metal bolts. Also, the wiring runs through it so unless you remove the wiring, you cannot pull it all the way off. So I just stretched the wires a little and flipped the grill over. Take a look.




Opps, over stretch.











Finished product.




My son did 95% of the work on this. I helped with some of the bolts.

nice job. when do you wanna come by and do mine

Looks great!

One of these days I am going to do mine but bigger things keep getting in the way......

Another thing is that in between the grill openings is curved, so you can't put the mounting bases in between. So the new mesh grill does not lay absolutely flat.

I so need to do that to mine. Nice job!
