FYI, I got 100 pack of sticky-backs from home depot for 9 bucks. There in the electrical area right next to the zip ties.

 

My buddy wants to do this mod now. Do you have any pics of the grill? installed or alone.

 

for any of the guys having adhesive problems, i used gorilla glue and let it set up overnight. it is very strong. i can't imagine these blocks coming off.

 

This is exactly how I want to do mine, but I can't find the screen material you have anywhere. I've looked at Home Depot, Auto parts, etc. Where did you get yours?

Thanks.

 

McMaster Carr. I listed the exact part number in the thread.

 

For those who are having issues with the blocks coming off:

I, too used epoxy on the blocks after they were stuck on around the edges and over the flat part of the block. It looks sloppy (because I epoxied in excess) but the "overkill" will help it hold. I first prepped the grille by sanding it lightly and then cleaning everything up with alcohol. I used more blocks than others here because i figured if I had it off already, then I may as well do the job so I didn't have to do it again.

I live in Ohio. I put the mesh on at the end of August and there is no sign of it loosening. We'll see after it gets really hot this summer. I think it'll be OK, though.

 

awsome job. looks like its worth 120 bucks

 

I looked for the aluminum mesh at Home Depot and Ace hardware but could not find any. I came across this plastic/vinyl gutter block (comes in 3' sections) and cut it to size then painted it metalic silver which closely matches the paint on my Sahara. Time will tell if the painted plastic stands up to the elements but then again everything else on the Jeep is painted plastic

 

I like that idea, I am going to have to try it.

 

i like it too! I spent almost 200.00 to get them made for my jeep!! wish i knew 3 months ago!!!!!
