Gladiator

They could have done something to the bumper to tie it better with grill. I don't mind the grill so much just not with that bumper!
Agreed. Something just isn’t right there. Even ignoring the bumper it still looks off. I’ll bet that grille with some MetalCloak fenders would look great.

This bumper with that vintage-looking grille looks a lot better imo.
I like that better, I think the other thing that throws that off is hood edge come out a bit to far froward over the grill.

That and the black fenders. Although a smaller fender might look even better.

Best picture I could find- I like the fenders better, but the bumper on this one looks like an afterthought. I’m thinking with the higher base line of the custom grille, a custom bumper mount will be needed to get the bumper up about 3”. 84232017-2121-4572-A9FB-09599B285E2E.jpeg

I know Jeeps are not meant for gas mileage but the JL and JT does have better smoothed and more wind friendly lines. With that being said I wonder how much this angled grill affected the MPG at highway speeds?
