Today I installed the latest cosmetic mod for Tiny.
I added in the RedRock 4×4 Mesh Grille Inserts in matte black. These are a really cheap and stupid easy add on but I like them.
I did worry that they would start to look a little too much like a Canadian Tire 30 dollar plastic ‘spinner’ hubcap type add on, but compared to the large number of american flags with eagles clutching freedom sticks or options that overtly support a police officer’s right to kill unarmed black people, these are not at all that bad.
Seriously with a lot of the decoration and accessory options that you can find out there on the internets, one has to start thinking that the Jeep Wrangler is really the official vehicle of the M.A.G.A/all lives matter/they took ‘er’ jerbs crowd
That is all to say I think they are pretty good looking and they serve to hide a less aesthetically pleasing bare Radiator :
Install was simple. There is an up and down to them. Just look at the factory grille and you can see which is which.
The instructions suggest that you need to pull the front grill off to do the install but I found that you could press them in with ease with the grill still attached. I did have to reach through the hole for the one beside it on a couple the didn’t click in solid and make sure they were secure.
We drove on the highway this afternoon for a couple hours at various speeds and I saw no heat issues nor did we lose any in our travels.
All in all for the $27.99USD that they cost I can’t complain. I will have to probably cut a larger hole in the honeycomb on the far right one when I install my winch in a couple of weeks. :) Yup installing a winch! Stay tuned for that.
