I wa t to order the satin black grille but the part specifically for the JT isnt avail until October. As far I know the only difference is the size of the grille holes in the slats to provide for better cooling. I wont be towing and suspect that the air flow difference is minimal. Thoughts?

It appears the JT is a bit starved for air under towing so the slats are thinner, other than that it should be a great fit. Downside is if you tow at the upper end of the numbers you might have some overheating issues especially if you live in the SW.

So here's the beef.....I ordered the factory Mopar satin black JL wrangler grille here.
https://www.bamwholesaleparts.com/o...RhMn6XJf60cHOVeg9YS8UX0Qh0LRwNoxoCf-QQAvD_BwE

It got here and here's what I know. It will fit the JT.....the grille slats are 1 for 1 swap with the JT. Only difference is the size of the air.flow holes in the slats. So you can order this one now or wait till October when the JT specific one will be available . If.tou arent towing you will be fine.....if.you are.towing swap your inserts from the factory JT grille onto the JL one.
