Grill Conversion, but Not Angry

[Jrgunn5150]

If we're being retro, it should be called the Scrambler in the first place, it's not "full sized".

I like the grille, I think it's cool, like it better on Wranglers though, which are now close in size to the original Cherokee/Wagoneer.

Like many others... I like it, but not enough to spend $4,000 on it.

Man, people are so hungry to make things look “retro”, what’s. The. point.…

I think it's because it reminds people of a simpler time. An age when there was a less complicated way of life. Work was work, home was home, without this complex electrified modern era where people are available to work all the time and home life is almost constricted now to just vacation days. At least that is what I think of when I see all these desires for retro looks. It also feels, to me, 'warm' compared to modernization. Houses are a good example. I had the 'modern' look some 10 years ago and while neat it never felt like a home. Now with a 1930 house to restore I will go for a more age appropriate style as it qualifies for a historical registry, and thus far it feels much more like a home than did the modern styling of years past. Maybe its the same reason I love the TJ/LJ look and simplicity over the JT even thought the JT is significantly more capable, more comfortable, and easier to drive.

I'm not interested in this, but curious what others think:

JL/JT GLADIATOR CONVERSION - WAITING LIST - CLICK HERE - Chris Durham Motorsports (cdmracing.com)

I searched, sorry if it's a repo



Reminds me of my old
J-20 Gladiator

When you purchase a Jeep, you have so many options you can do to create with your stamp on it. I like it. The Angry Grill, it can just go away...

I kinda like it - but even if it was offered to me for free, I'd decline.

Like it, also like to make my toys unique and Almost did it three years ago, but couldn’t justify the expense in the end.

It's interesting, but it's not $5,000 of interesting when I could spend that on a new suspension kit, King shocks, or wheels and tires with a significant amount of money left over.

Similar to the last concept Gladiator. What's not to like other than the price. I was hoping they would have gone into production as in the concept as opposed to keeping the same old thing on the Wrangler.

Considering the amount of work to create this front end and what is more than likely going to be a low production kit, I'm not surprised that it's expensive.

Like many others, I would love to convert my Gladiator to set it apart from the JL/JT grille, but not willing to do so for $5k. If the price ever drops below $2500, I'm in.
