I have another question and I dont know if this is a safe place. Please be kind.

How do you all make your bumper grill cool. I took it off. I took it apart. And my immediate thought "you will make this your worst mistake... dont do it"

It’s unfortunate that YOU feel that way. Your arrogance in regards to generational intelligence is very typical for those that think it is true.

This site appears to have slipped into a bit of a bitch fest for keyboard warriors.
So I too will be a critic now, and disagree with your assumption that “this” generation is more smart.
Book smart does not equal intelligence.
I’m 42. Im Not sure who is in which generation with regard to these posts but it is my belief that Americans may have more college degrees today than at any point in the past but that generally speaking our populace is not as smart as it was 50-75 years ago.

When I went to school we were educated about many, many subjects. We were also taught how to learn so that we could use the resources available to teach ourselves new things when there wasn't someone available to provide the needed education. That seems to be lacking in the current education system. Too many now rely on Google for a quick answer, and don't put forth any effort to try and verify the information they found is correct.

They are on the top, kinda look like grab handles almost? I want to take them off and paint them and was going to look for a video of other people doing it - - until I realized I have no clue what they are called.

Sorry for the stupid question. But I would appreciate any help you guys have!
Did you ever end up taking them off? If so how, im looking to replace one but cant find any removal/install videos.

They are rubber coated so paint won't stick well and it will probably look tacky anyway.

Awesome. Now maybe I can figure out what those damn buttons near the headlight switch are. I assume its various fog settings, but Jeep is an entirely different animal from a Corvette (the last vehicle I actually cared about and didnt just keep stock).
They are not buttons they are more of a rocker switch. Try them out sometime in the dark you’ll see what they are for.

I ended up buying rubber pieces that fit over it. Seemed like the only practical way to do it.
