I love that grill on the originals. Not so much on the modern day Gladiators. It just doesn't look right to me. Too small due to the fenders and narrow body width compared to the originals.
Just my humble opinion from someone who is not a fan of bird beak grills either!
It is cool see all the different modifications you can do to these things.

Looks awesome but jeep seriously needs to tone down the front and rear bumper. Make the bumper near parallel to the grill.

Thanks form posting. Hadn't seen one. Need to see in person though. Points for historical. To be sure that is the original gladiator front, not just on M715

I had an M715 back in the mid ā€˜80’s. I saw it in a junk yard from the road. Went in and spoke with the owner of the junk yard. He had a lot of guns displayed on the wall. I traded him a nice Colt 1911 on the spot for the M715 and the loan of a heavy duty, clamp-on tow bar. Pulled it 60+ miles home behind my Suburban. Took about 4 hours! It wouldn’t run. I discovered the coil was gone. Found a new one (no small feat as there was no internet then), popped it in and it ran great. Didn’t even have to charge the batteries. Had fun with it for a couple of years. Sorta wish I still had it, but glad I didn’t sink $$$$$$$ into it.
