I am not sure what the name of it is. Look back through this thread. DB888 gave me the link to a place that I ordered. It was like 15 bucks. Hope that helps.

I couldn't get the sticky stuff off the mounts efficiently, so I did the rough-up, alcohol, stuck the tabs on with the tape, then went around each of the mounts with fast-setting epoxy (fully cured in 1 hour). Maybe overboard with the amount of epoxy I used, but I'm sure it won't be coming off! I also used more tabs than some of the other pics I saw. I'd rather do it once and not have it fail than to have to do it again!

Why would you want to put mesh there. Would it serve a purpose or just for looks. Looking at that pic it looks like there is some type of mesh there already

Default Question about Sgt P's post

Great looking Mod this one and so easy - i will do mine at the weekend.

3 pages back in Sgt P ' s post there are two hooks sticking up out of the bumper bar either side of the grill ( they are also in other posts) I am new to jeeps and just got my 07 Unlimited 2 weeks ago - mine does not have these hooks - can someone please tell me what they are and if they are a Mopar part what they are called and if possible the part no. ?

USEFUL TIP:

To easily remove the adhesive pad from the self-adhesive zip tie blocks, put some WD-40 in a cup or saucer and soak the blocks for a few hours. The adhesive pad comes right off in one piece. Then put the blocks in a solvent to remove the WD-40 before you apply glue.

You can do all 31 blocks at the same time if you have enough WD-40.
