I used the 5 minute loctite epoxy and then when I ran out I used Jb weld on the remaining three!

 

Is it just 6 of those caption screws that hold the grill in place?

was going to do this, along with the bedline, but it was hot out and didnt want to mess

 

There are six or seven pop-up anchors across the top, 5 clips along the bottom, and a clip near each of the turn signal lights. Use a long handle flat blade screw driver to gently pry the clips loose. In any case... don't try and force things.

 

Just got mine completed last night. Thanks for the info. Came out great!

 

I ordered a black mesh kit from amazon a few weeks back and installed it last week. Looks good, but I wish I would have seen this thread before and put gorrila glue or similar on. Now I need to take off the front end again and reglue all the pieces when I have time.

 

Could you post a link to the amazon item

I made a mistake, i actually bought it from ebay, but either way it was around $27 for the kit
So far it has held up really well, its a firm coated black plastic material, soft enough that it flexes so it won't snap and break. I liked this kit as a cheaper alternative to metal to see if I liked the look and it wont rust. i just need to do the gorilla glue to finish it off better

Also, the sale mentions that it comes standard black, but for a $15-25 upcharge you can order it oem paint color matched to whatever JK color

I got this one a few months ago from the same seller. Its holding up great, powdercoated slate black one piece grill for $60 with all zip ties and cable mounts, better than running around looking for all the parts my self.

60 bucks! I feel better that I did it myself and saved 40 bucks! Well to each his own!

 

Its a powder coated metal, not gutter guard. I did it myself at first but didnt like the plastic. Not bad considering mcmaster site sells them for about $40 shipped un painted. I'd rather spend a couple extra sheckles to have it done right; powder coated. No chips anywhere. Ill post some pics later. I'd reccomend it to anyone
