I appreciate your input, but I LIKE the look of the new grill better.
Wow, I just noticed Shrimphappens post, $750+ is rediculous....I'll wait for a trade opportunity for sure
Thank you for attempting to figure out the new vs old grill debate! On my Mojave, I have a bull bar and my winch on my front bumper - which both are blocking some of the airflow to my radiator, so now I'm THINKING since the new grill is smaller in height (the airflow area to radiator is higher...
Out here in Las Vegas with 112 heat, ANY onboard air mounted in the engine compartment works 50% of the time. They simply get too hot from the engine, have to turn off truck and let cool down for a while until they work, even the ARB's
At the very least with the new grill, my winch wires would have some more room like you said, that would be nice. Not sure why they havent figured out a way to just hide the wires better? The DO rub against my grill, but no damage.

GREAT post and info here! I'm curious if you don't mind what's the expense to "build" your 3.6L motor for the supercharger? I've also been considering a Magneson supercharger for my 23 JT, but don't mind spending a little extra cash to extend longevity.
I just got an email on this....looks pretty cool. Not sure I'd make the change, but ultimately depends on the extra cost to have installed. Anyone have an experience with this product?

I didn't say "unreliable" pricing, YOU did. Let's not just add in random words into the conversation. My problem is how much dealerships charge for everything. I also do NOT like the "book rate" method because I know their #1 goal is to do the work in less time, but still charge the time amount...
