Default Aftermarket Grille?

What do you think about putting the style of grille that lifted trucks have on our XJ?

Not really my thing on the trucks and I like a slotted grill on a Jeep.

Looks great!

Has anyone fabbed up a grill in the billet style? I'd love to see one that runs the whole width of the front end, covering the headlights too. (preferably in black!)

thanks guys, i bought a 2ftX2ft piece of what seems like 1/8th inch steel and cut it up. mounted it behind the grill, on the radiator side, as opposed to mounting it to the actual grill piece. overall its pretty easy and cheap

Nothing. But I like to modify almost everything I have. Even if it's copying some CF members it's still nice to know that you're probably the only person in the area with an xj that looks different than all the others.
