I got a buddy who's JK was drug (dragged?) through the fabfours catalog, complete with interior and underbody accent lighting. It is not my thing but it makes him happy. It's kinda unique when you meet him because he runs a small pet shop and is not the guy you would expect to have the vicowl et al.

Given the cooling engineering that went into the gladiator grill versus the wrangler I can't see any of the aftermarket grills doing any good. But I feel that way about all of them. Mesh is cool until you do the calculations on empty space and realize you are limiting air flow for the sake of bling.

After reading an article on the work Jeep put in to get the cooling system to handle the towing. I would be concerned about who the different grill would effect airflow.
YEP!!!!!!!!!

I constantly had someone whining about their Jeeps cooling, seeing as how I ran the trails in the dead heat of the Sonoran desert with my AC on and nobody else could do it. So I asked, well what have you done to mitigate?

Answer: Electric fans, fancy trick fan blades, and almost always a new and improved radiator...yea and after spending almost a $1000 bucks you are still overheating and I run ALL OEM + Plus a Supercharger...

Now we are plagued with smiley shark faces or a mean face. Yea my local dealer has a smiley shark face contraption on a new JT and I am willing to bet $$$ it is going to have an overheating issue and that is generally a headache on a Jeep, any Jeep that was created by the OWNER and some cutesy thing added to the grille in order to ??????

Ok north side of Houston this fella did some major add ons. It’s not my cup of tea but kinda looks like a shark stash
That's the Fab Fours Gladiator I believe. I'm all for anyone doing whatever they want to their rides, to each their own. However, after I saw this I decided I probably won't order anything from Fab Fours....ever

Id never heard of them so I looked them up and they got weird expensive stuff. I probably will never get anything from them.

the grill has a preditor-esque vibe.
