Updated 2024+ grille installed on my 2020 JT (temperature readings added)

[Jefe1018]

Exactly. The room added for the cables was a pleasant surprise.



It's multiple parts and this is what Benny @AllMoparParts.com gave me. He said they are taking 30-45 days to get. Also keep in mind this is unpainted so these will need to be color matched. I found this complete on Ebay but after the price of all the parts then getting it painted, it would've been very close in price.

Thanks for the parts list, I have very little interest in getting with a bodyshop on this, anyway you can give me the name of the ebay seller?

Edit: this guy has a few, no more bright white atm though

I really like the new grill and the space it allows for a winch. I'm gonna do the swap after the new grill becomes more readily available.

That’s who I bought it from. I think I got the only white he had left. Keep an eye out because he seems to get them in somewhat frequently.

This is what pushed me to buy on ebay. I thought it was overpriced at first but after I broke it down, it was close. I was quoted 300-350 by a local body shop.

I’ve spent $350 on paint and painted a whole’68 VW Beetle. probably 30 minutes to prep. not much paint. I’d say they are over charging.

LOL What year was this? 1969? Was it a Maaco paint job?

2020, no, I painted it myself.

But, Maaco would probably be a good alternative for people to have it painted. They have guys with good experience painting. Just wouldn’t have them do any kind of bodywork.

2020, no, I painted it myself.

Ah, yeah a DIY job could be done for $350, but when your factor that in vs $843 for parts shipped to your door vs $750 for a painted unit that just clicks in.. does not make sense in my book atm.

I sent them a message, hopefully I can get one ordered.

I'm mostly trying to see if this makes any different in the EGT and oil temps I've seen driving back and from Southern Utah in the last few weeks with temps over 110.

I'll report back on temps as well. I live in PHX and it's been 115+ and my coolant temps have been slightly higher than usual. At first look with the new grill, you have a lot more open space for airflow around the radiator and cooling fins. We'll see if there is a slight decrease in temps.

3.6 gasser or 3.0 diesel?

I know the towing capacity was raised to 5,000lbs in the JL's so I am hoping that is because of the extra bit of colling they were able to squeeze from the new grill, hopefully that helps at least a bit.

Something doesn't seem right there. You have three different grille inserts in the cart when it looks like you need only one of them, and the shipping is ridiculous. I've seen that high of shipping from some of these on-line factory Mopar sites. I think it is for expedited shipping. When I put all the necessary parts in my cart it comes to $413 with $74 shipping. At that price maybe it (plus paint) is the better deal vs ebay? And if you have a local dealer that has their own affiliated parts website, shipping is $0 if you have it delivered to the dealer and pick it up.

What did I do wrong? I did it from the list provided on the above post.
