Mesh grill
Had some free time today so I decided to cut out the plastic spokes in the grill and make it wire mesh instead. Let me know how you think it turned out.

Do you think something similar would work in a ZJ? I do not like the look of my stock grill and do not have the funds to buy one from a 5.9 like I would like to do.

Air Flow
I like it a lot but watch your temperature gauge real close. That looks like it might restrict the air flow to much.

I did the same thing after some close calls with sticks denting up my rad/trans cooler pretty bad. I just used plain old metal lath leftover from a stone siding job. By cutting notches for the grill mounting tabs and fitting it behind the vertical "frame" pieces of where the grill mount I was able to mount the grill back up with no problems. It hardly restricts air, I wouldn't worry about it at all.
