Updated 2024+ grille installed on my 2020 JT (temperature readings added)

[tonywin]

Put the 24 grille on my JT and I like the look. I actually didn't like it when I first saw the reveal but when I visited a local dealer it grew on me in person. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I was pleasantly surprised about the clearance between my winch cables and the grill now.

With the old grill it was an extremely tight fit where the cables actually pressed into the grill and it was a pain to press in and even take off. Now, the space is much larger and the cables don't even touch the grill now.

Here are some pics. Will get nicer ones eventually. Total install was about 45 seconds

Front trail cam is in the mail.

UPDATE:
Update on initial observations regarding coolant temps. It's been over 110-115* here in PHX and with the old grille, my coolant temps have been hovering around 215-219*. With the new grille my temps have stayed below 200* in stop and go traffic along with highway driving.

I know it's a small sample but so far so good.

I think the looks of the 24' grill are good looking and unbeatably modern. That looks great

Thanks I agree it definitely updates the look!

I ordered from a seller on Ebay. I thought it was pricey at first but after I added up the parts to order, wait 30-45 days for them to come in, then have it painted, it was right around the same price.

I like it!

Looks like it does go as far down as the original. Do you have a side by side comparison before install.

It goes down the same length but the painted grille portion is a few inches shorter. There is a black plastic part on the bottom that gives much better clearance for winch cables.

Here’s the old grille. Not as clear but the lower trim was pressed in because of the winch cable.

Nothing at you but that new grille looks like a 1960-1970 motel window ac unit exhaust screen.

I dig it

When I first saw it, I hated it. But then again when I first saw a gladiator I hated it too. So maybe my first reactions arent that reliable.

Well obviously the Gladiator grew on me, and now I think the 24 grille is starting to as well.

I still think it looks better on white or black or gray Jeeps and not so good on colors.

Edit: I take it back, i like it on colors now too.

That’s a nice looking renegade you’ve got there!

…..oh wait…..

Looks good

Holy cow. That really is a lot more room for the cables. I'm in the same boat, and actually considered a replacement bumper to fix the problem.. but then, even removing the grill would be a PITA with the current cables, so I held off.

Now... Hmm...

Exactly. The room added for the cables was a pleasant surprise.

It's multiple parts and this is what Benny @AllMoparParts.com gave me. He said they are taking 30-45 days to get. Also keep in mind this is unpainted so these will need to be color matched. I found this complete on Ebay but after the price of all the parts then getting it painted, it would've been very close in price.
