It's doable, if I can do it, anyone can do it.

MOPAR Satin Grill, with the Overland silver trim swapped onto, with painted Rugged Ridge Headlight Guards

As long as the grill was off, what the hay.

Thought I'd like it.

I REALLY LIKE IT!

Nice...what paint did you use and what did you do to prep the grille.

No paint, swapped grills.

That is the Mopar Satin Black Grill.

Tore it apart, and put all my Overland guts into it.

If the new grill came with black inserts you should put those on your white grille and see what that looks like. The silver accents definitely look better than what I would have thought.

Exactly what I did, who knows I may need it again. Looks like a SPORT grill minus the white trim on the sides and on the bottom.

The OVERLORD sees the light of day with the new grill, I really like it, and GLAD(Iator) it looks so good, at least to me. Just installed, six-hundred-pounds-of-stone-in-the-bed-leveling-kit!

First off, grats to you for modding and seeing what happens. That's the fun. I kind of like the look, but if it were me I'd remove the decals and the bug-deflector thing. But my opinion doesn't matter, only yours! Rock on!

Let me know if you'd like to get rid of those parts from the replacement grill you didn't use.

If that bug deflector works, I'm getting one for my JT. Sick of the glass being plastered with Iowa bug guts any time I drive. I have to clean the windshield with pretty much every trip - especially if I leave early in the AM. Man, those bugs make a huge mess and aren't easy to get off. They must be eating Iowa cows or corn or something.
It's one of the worst vehicles I've had for bugs.

It helps, Prior to it's install, I had to clean the windshield sometimes twice a day.

Looks good, what bug deflecor is that?

We just moved back to Iowa from North Carolina the night before the derecho. Just our luck! Given how I 'baby' all of our Jeeps, one of the first things I noticed about living in NC was the lack of bugs, almost non-existent. In a year of owning our JT down there, I didn't combine to have the number of bugs on our windshield as we do in a short drive in the Midwest. I HATE it more than I can describe! If you know you're going on a trip that will require a vehicle wash after, Griot's Garage has a water soluble product that you spray on prior to your trip, although it is not suitable for a windshield. For the windshield, I've been using Griot's Garage glass clay which makes the windows feel like ice! It works well as the bugs don't stick near as bad. If you have access to a lower psi power washer, they just come right off, no residue. For more difficult spots, Turtle Wax has a good bug and tar remover that I apply, let it sit for about 5 minutes and then power wash that bug jerky off the vehicle.

I love Iowa but I miss North Carolina! We made it back just in time to find out the B1G canceled the fall season so my seats on the 50 yard line will be empty. We could have stayed one more year!!! Darn.
