To be honest, I don’t like the angry grill. My brother doesn’t either. I’m not trying to offend anyone who does. One of the great things about jeeps is that one can customize them anyway they want to. My brother and I have been looking at used jeeps and he isn’t a forum member, so I’m going to ask. If you buy a used jeep with an angry grill, can you replace it with a regular grill, or does it require too much modification to begin with?

thank you!

It takes about 4 minutes to switch out a grill. It’s 6 fasteners at the top of the grill, and probably 8 clips at the bottom that you just pull on once the fasteners on top are removed. Then you pull the grill off.

Then you align the bottom clips on the new grill with the holes on the bottom, push them in, and reinstall the 6 fasteners on top.

A lot of people put black grilles on if he cannot find a color matching one.
Just a thought.

Isn't a black grill an optional extra from the factory?

Very easy to do my stock grill was slightly damaged and this one was very inexpensive and pretty well made.

I like the black grill on the Willys models. I’ll be pulling my Rubi steel bumper off soon to repaint (with bedliner) and have been considering painting my grill black at the same time. Good to know it come off so easily.

Would you really trust the rest of a truck that was owned by a 13 year old?

You should check out this company. You can get a stock grill painted in any factory color for $279 and if you send back your original grill you get $75 back so it would be just over $200 for a professionally painted grill. They do a lot of other parts as well.

Willys had a gloss black grill, and the option for others was the Mopar satin black grill. It’s like a 300 dollar option for the dealer to remove your color matched grill and install a grill with no paint at all. Kinda ridiculous i think… ask me how i know ?
