I decided to do a little mod on the front grill. I have always disliked the large thick slats in the grill so I decided to mod them.

This is the start of the project. The slats I'm talking about are the grill looking things in the center of 8 sections that make up the grill of the early ZJ.

 This is the back side of the grill and you can get a better look at the slats I intend to get rid of. I ust my dremel tool with a cutting wheel attachment to do the cutting. Then I follow up with a Bastard hand file and sand paper to clean things up.

This is after I cut the slats out and cleaned them up. I have also roughed up the paint as prep for the primer.

These pictures show the Primed, painted, and screen installed views. I only did one section so I could see if I actually liked the look of the screen. If I didn't like it then I wouldn't have wasted a whole lot of time.

These two pictures shows the grill back on "Wildspear". I like what I'm seeing so I'll take the grill back off and continue with the Mod.

 The grill is done. I'm doing this project in Michigan and it's winter time so all the work is being done in the garage. It's pretty chilly in the unheated garage so the spot lights are providing the heat so the paint can actually dry.....lol!

Here is the finished grill installed on the truck. I like this look alot better than what I started with.
