Thought I’d share some updates I completed today.
Back to a OEM grille. Found one used in good shape, scotch bright scuffing and 400 grit sanding, tack cloth and painted it Satin Black. Had both sets of inserts, like the JL better.
Removed Tyger stubby grille, welded on some tabs for connection to the new Rubi front STL skid. Reinstalled everything.
I‘ll cut and bend some 1/4” 6 series aluminum straps for the skid connection to the bumper tomorrow to finish it up. I forgot how much I missed the OEM grille. I think it turned out good.
