Mine fell off the next day after using Gorilla 2 part epoxy. I read the label AFTER it fell off and I guess I didn't read the part about 24 hr cure time. It was setup and holding when I put in on. Going to try Jen Weld 2 part epoxy now. I think I will review the directions first this time.

Grill removal
I picked up a spare front grill from the local salvage yard, cut out the middle section, and found some clover-leaf aluminum mesh (think of a pet guard for a screen door) to cover the middle. I attached the mesh with small bolts and fender washers (2 on each side, 3 along the top and bottom), then painted the whole thing with bedliner coating.
My question is, what is the preferred way to remove the stock grill and install the new one without damaging anything? The reason I ask is, when I removed the one from the salvage yard, I removed the three bolts up top, and was surprised that it was still "stuck". It looked like the center grill slid over the ends of the corner pieces. It looked like the side pieces have to be removed as well, which requires removing the turn signal housings.
Am I missing something, or should I remove the side pieces and turn signal housings to swap the center grill?

The turn signals are removed by releasing a single spring.

Old thread but figured I would throw in my homemade version of the saudi grill.
Contrary to what others said, I believe the saudi grill does help cooling by allowing more air flow, my temp has dropped from 206F to around 188F after the grill( and removing lights, ect. from ARB)

I'm truly amazed that this thread is still going, but it inspied me, I need to carry on the Saudi grill tradition with my new rover.
Bring the Saudi grill to the p38, what you think?
